Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 14 May 2011
This picture was taken with the Domesday Reloaded project in mind, and was an attempt to recreate an older photograph, which could (at the time) be seen at the BBC's Domesday Reloaded site. Both pictures were taken from Image In the present photograph, the trees to the left (north) of the canal hide some of the buildings that appear in the original photograph, but those buildings, which are alongside Portpatrick Road, appear much the same now as they did then (my photograph was carefully cropped so that if the original photo and this one are resized to the same dimensions, then the buildings are in precisely the same place in each).
