Tazio Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 3 hours ago, Maroon Sailor said: Poole's Synod Demolished to make way for a never built Opera House Ariel view of the hole in the ground as it was known after the Synod Hall was demolished. The Royal Lyceum on the top right and Castle Terrace the street on the left of the photo. It’s now Saltire Court office block. The planning permission was only given for Saltire Court on the condition there was part of the building that could be used as a theatre. That theatre is the Traverse Theatre. This photo is next to my desk there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judging by the blurriness of the horse & carts, the exposure could only have been a few seconds. St Johns church in all its glory - and the whole street seems to have more light than it does now, with no Caley Hotel there !! Great find, sir. 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This one of St Cuthbert's Church is reported to be from 1882, so also pre dates the Caley. That Caley wasn't built until 1899-1903. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NANOJAMBO Posted Monday at 20:54 Share Posted Monday at 20:54 5 hours ago, Radio Ga Ga said: C1843 Is this the mediaeval church that was knocked down to make way for the railway station ? I read somewhere recently the plan was to kncok it down and rebuild it so the stone was "stored" on Calton Hill. But years later when they finally got round to it, most of the stone had been nicked.
