Statement of Interest

A photograph of circa 1977 shows an 8-flue shouldered wallhead stack over the left bay of the NW elevation, and another large stack over the dividing wall with the adjacent building. Removal of these stacks from this building mars the traditional profile, but this building continues to provide a particularly fine focus for this part of Longrow, and its early 19th century burgh architecture. It is currently (1995) further enhanced by a very smart shop-sign painted on the frieze.
