That was my immediate thought; glad to see someone else believes so too. 👍 e: according to my records I have it as Dublin St at Abercrombie Place, 1964.

Coincidently, this morning I was looking at pics of The Shore and it seems to me anyway that the Kings Wark was called Rutherfords in the 50s, circa, although I couldn't really get anything comprehensive off the web.
