West High Street
East and West High Street are effectively a single street, which changes its name at the Cross. The pink building at the far end of this view is the first building in East High Street. The taller building with the cupola and weather vane is the Meffan Institute, which houses the Museum and exhibition space. Of particular interest in the Museum is the reconstruction of an old Forfar street, with a full range of small shops.

Woolworths No More
Woolworths has been a presence just here for as long as most of the town's inhabitants can recall, but it closed down at the end of December 2008 when the company went bust.
I have been asked by his son to add that the gentleman in the light coloured jacket is the late Charles Balfour Lyon (Chick) 1927-2016.

8 - 14 The Cross
I always thought that these buildings were the lowest-numbered ones in West High Street, but the listed buildings register describes them as numbers 8 to 14, The Cross. The group is listed Category C(S). The building with the turret and green paint is the Queen's Hotel, built in 1885.

Polish plaque at Forfar Cross
This plaque is situated on a wall at the Cross, on your right just as you turn left from West High Street into Castle Street. It commemorates the stay between 1940 and 1942 of a Polish unit in Forfar which later took part in the Normandy campaign.
