| Comment | Yeah, on the left hand side the only buildings not still standing are the "Paulsen's" one and the ones further back where GWR was realigned and bridged.
The wee "Lucas" building is still there and has had cladding put over it. You can still make out the recessed entry and floating column today. The building behind that you can still see that massive, distinctive chimney stack. The building behind that with the cream coloured cladding is still there. It's been painted grey today and is the Harvest Clinic.
After that, things are different. Where the wholly white building is and the building with the big, long red sign, that's now where Great Western Road comes through over on a bridge. GWR used to come through a block further north than it is today connecting with New City Road (St Georges Place was the old GWR), but was realigned to meet with West Graham Street instead. West Graham Street used to form a (staggered) cross with Grant Street (Buccleuch and Carnarvon; West Graham and Grant). In this photo you can see West Graham Street on the right hand side where the black hackney is sitting.
Anyway, yeah, you're right. It's only that one building with Paulsen's on the corner that is gone from the left hand foreground today. |
