Since Woolworths closed there has been what seems like a never ending modification programme. Supposedly the ground floor is being split into 3 shops with a fourth upstairs. Here we see new roof girders being lifted into place at what was the rear of the shop, in St. Andrews Street. The work was carried out on a Sunday as the road had to be closed.
