Ayr's Empty Shops
In common with other town centres, Ayr has seen the closure of many shops over the last few years. In this view, only 1 of the 6 shops is still in business. That one is Watt Brothers, on the far right of this shot. Breathing new life into our town centres isn't going to be easy. For a later view, see Image & Image

The Hammermen's Guild
The crown and hammer were the symbols of the 18th century guild of hammermen, often found on old gravestones. I was surprised to find this one on a building in Ayr's High Street.

Ayr High Street Development Site
The northern end of Ayr High Street has been zoned for redevelopment. Some of the buildings have little character but it would be a shame to lose some fine architecture. A closer look at the parapet above the middle windows shows the crest of the Guild of Hammermen - see Image

High Street Development Site
The north end of Ayr High Street used to be the busiest part of the town centre but now it's full of empty shops. The one on the right was the original Woolworths, which relocated further along the street, using the former Littlewoods premises in a bid to stay open. Sadly, it didn't work out Image The site has now been cleared for redevelopment - see Image & Image
