Lowther St, Currock Road & Scotland Road
CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE
A view of Lowther St looking north. The building to the right at the time was the Post Office opened in 1863. It moved to Warwick Road in 1916 and the Gretna Tavern took its place.
The horse must be used to trams as it's getting quite near to it.
Scotland Road at its junction with Etterby St. The Crown Inn is on the left and then Scotland Road shops. The original road to Scotland turned right from Stanwix Bank onto Brampton Road and then through Stanwix village rejoining Scotland Road further down.
Judging by the clothes I would date the scene to between 1910-20.
Currock Road in the early 1900s (the card was posted in 1906). The entrance to the left is where Lediard Avenue was to be built at a later date.
Apart from the railings the houses are mainly unchanged today. Currock Road appeared in directories from about 1884. Currock Villa at the far end of the row was built about 1871.
