Looking
up Regent Street towards Drumgold Street we can see the new Marks
and Spencer store in Marks and Spencer Street on the Isle of Marks.
Not that this company has any influence in local politics but
the new paved area was completed just in time for the store opening
and was paid for by the Douglas 2000 scheme, don't ask who is
on the committee.
Another
view of the now completed section from the Picture house to the
Maypole at one time I think that this building was also the Palais
de Dance and on Gallery 8 there is an old advertising poster for
the dance hall.
The
Villa Marina is at last undergoing a refurbishment program. It
was decided to start by renovating the dome and renewing the blocked
out windows that were discovered during the inspection.
This
used to be Hanover Street School and now houses The Off-ice of
Fair Trading. Central Stone Co. recently restored the splendid
off-red brickwork and, as you can see, made a very good
job of it.
