My Auntie and friend worked in Fraser and Carmichaels. My Auntie stayed across the road In the top flat. We used to go and visit her and got some sweeties as she worked in the confectionary dept. Happy days.
Love looking at old photos. Days done by.xx
So the only reason they demolished it was to provide a better view? Seems a tad wasteful. Excellent views of the abbey can be had from any number of other vantage points!!!
Love seeing how The Toon looked years ago ….
Fingers crossed!
Kenn Nyw Att view of the kirkgate, the building straight ahead is now the grass area where the benches are. See the sign for the old Old Police Station at what is now “The Old Inn”
I’m a newbie here, I find old photos so interesting. Never knew that there was a building. Looked much better before it was demolished.
Left school with a school chum (Cath Hunter) walked in to the building got interview and we both got jobs in the offices, but sadly it was for 6mths until it closed, loved the place dark and dreary but it had character they sold everything, remember at Easter they had a show in the City Hotel for the buyers, you got your butter and cheese orders on a Thursday if I remember right and getting the hoist up (no lifts) wi Eddie to the Confection dept, happy days.
