just had a look at your photos.
Photo of the Harbour Inn is just opposite the police station which is all boarded up and behind the Harbour Inn was where the ACCS/Containerway yard was(where my father worked).
Research I have gave me the information that my grandfather and his brothers and sisters lived in a house somewhere around the Harbour Inn, long gone houses I suppose. His father ran a bakers shop in Princes Street and then he himself ran a bakers in Glasgow Street (William Conn and Thomas Conn) There must have been quite a few house down around the harbour area when the town was first built.
