They chimney in the old photo is Drumdryan Brewery. It's amazing how they could demolish what's in the first photo and put up a building like the King's in two years.

For some reason there were steps where you could climb up at the back and you could stand on the roof like some sort of veiwing platform. Funnily enough I was up there the other day for the first time in years and it seems to be a library there now which is good. The centre though... Post Office, Greggs, Farmfoods, Iceland, chemist, bookies and a charity shop... pretty much everything else closed. Soul destroying depressing place.

J.T.F.Robertson Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Also, turns out I know one of the guys listed at the end. Usually meet up with him when I'm back and always has shitloads of old pics on his iPad. There's one shot on that video of the St. Cuthbert's store on the corner of Nicholson Street. Anyway, at the top was the very first club I ever went to, called the Attic. Went there because an r&b band called the Embers, made up of guys from James Clark's Academy, played regularly there.
