North place would be the continuation of Duke Street if it were not for the latter curving round to leave a grassy area on the south side of the Square. In that square, at the foot of this street, is the site of the United Presbyterian kirk which was opened in 1882. In 1929 the United Presbyterian Church was reunited with the Church of Scotland. The UP kirk was abandoned, and was demolished in the 1930s, and North Place extended over its site to meet the main street. If you enlarge the map, you can easily see the shape of the original diagonally-placed square.
