Shops, building societies become banks and fast food, the story of many high streets around the country. The grey modern building on the extreme left was built on the site of Prior's department store. Prior's had moved to a new location at the junction of Castle Street and High Road. The two imposing buildings occupied by an O'Neills pub and Abbey Bank currently defy my attempts to identify their original use, but they predate 1936, and the rest of the parade of shops predate 1905.
