The North Side of Morrison Street

Early 1900s

Here we look to the north across Morrison Street from outside the Scottish Widows' office at No 69.  There were buildings in this section of the street when the photo below was taken, some time between 1909 and 1920.

Demolition

These shops, and many other buildings that once stood on the north side of the street, have now been demolished.  The land where they stood is now a car park, seen in the photograph at the top of this page.
