[@castles2hire]

I feel great knowing that i lived in irvine during that time and remember every place in the photos, Then came progress, Not many people whom i spoke with at the time, Did not want the heart ripped out of irvine, I moved to brechin a great little city,Still in the old stage like irvine used to be. Thanks for posting this little gem.

Nice postcards. Not seen the one of Bank Street Station before (Caley Railway). Good.

Ahhh, the "Blue Billy". You have some really good images here. Its really sad what they have done to our once lovely town. I blame CDC. Thanks.

Does any footage exist of Meadowpark hut owners site ( now the paper mill) which was on the old original A736? I spent my summers as a child there with many happy memories.

Great photo's. I also have some good ones of ma Dad doon the harbour a long time ago!!! Also born and bread in Irvine as well as my Dad. Proud to be from Irvine!!! I will tell you something though I have lots of friends that moved from Glasgow and they are a great bunch of guys. So nothing to do with where your from, there were/are tons of idiots before the Glasgow folk came. And as I said I am fron Irvine and very proud of the fact.

Hi there - I run the Old Irvine page on Facebook - do you happen to have any of the photos in the video that I can post on the page? Thanks ;-)

You still call it Cunninghame District Council? I thought it was changed to North Ayrshire these days! But I do remember the CDC! Mind you I still barely remember Ayr County Council before it became Strathclyde Regional!
