You must have got Stevie to do the joinery work there Chriso. Looks good.
Edit. I meant to add, you might be equally as capable yourself of course.

Here we go again - time to show your desktop. This is such a great photo, we discussed it in this topic
Re: I'll show you mine if you show me yours ;-)
Looking down Nineyard Street, Saltcoats.
The building for sale on the right I'm sure used to be a Bank a number of years ago.
The Windy Ha'

the site of the Saracens Head is still vacant.the new houses are down by that point nearer the Pan Brae.the bank on the corner was the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Re: I'll show you mine if you show me yours ;-)
In the 50's and early 60's it was the Royal Bank. A good friend, John Rae, has father was the manager and they lived in the building. Oddly enough, another good friend, Dick McConnachie, his father was manager of the Ardrossan branch of RBS and they too lived above the bank.michaelm wrote: The building for sale on the right I'm pretty sure used to be a Bank a number of years ago, possibly B.O.S. I think it then became the local branch of the Citizens Advice Bureau (C.A.B.) for a while, but as far as I'm aware it has lain empty for some time now.

wellparkno9. Not being a saltcoats resident I meant the general site area when referring to the Saracen Head/Grange location.
And that is very close to the flats that were built there in the past few years.
Thanks Retsum for confirming that the bank was R.B.O.S.

Nice shots, Michael. There used to be a structure on top of the Windy Ha' which we noticed some time ago in a photo taken from Dockhead Street. At first we mistook it for the spire of the Landsborough Church. We can probably date when it was taken down by the car in this shot.michaelm wrote:I've always thought The Windy Ha' was a very attractive looking building.
