Memories in Focus: 'Tam O'Shanter'

This marvellous 1906 view of Kingsgate Street, Society Street and Church Street shows James Gillies' 'Tam O'Shanter' bar on the left and Blair's greengrocery on the right. The building containing Blair's shop and the Ulster Bar next door was one of the original timber framed buildings erected in the town during the 1620's. The boys in the photograph appear to be on their way home from school.
