They rebuilt the building with the arched windows and the Burton sign in it's original footprint. The footage at 2:40 to 2:50 shows the rebuilt buildings.

@@EzeePosseTV I was involved in the demolition and reconstruction works including, along with John Fyfe, the assessment of how much more granite was required to complete the structure. The backing stonework built in granite pinnings (i.e. granite offcuts after stones were dressed) was removed and rebuilt with an engineering brick backing which will last for some considerable time! My memory reminds me that the whole area was known as the "Golden Triangle' and was completely rebuilt with the exception of the Prince of Wales pub whose owner would not sell his property!

@@weeriewullie Wow, that is interesting to learn. I can not even imagine the hassle of having to number key the granite pinnings, haha! Yikes. The brick backing makes more sense as it's more practical and strength can be adjusted for purpose. I remember watching the dismantling process over the time it took and did wonder why the Prince Of Wales section was not included in the rebuild. You probably saw me many times stood at the top of the St Nicks stairs watching, the scruffy looking older teen I was then. I never knew it was called the Golden Triangle though. I do remember back in 1979 (I was 4 years old) there were little shops all the way round the back next to the graveyard as I remember my mum taking me down the steps from the graveyard into the shop across the wee cobble road. It looks awful seeing it all blanked off now. But thank you for sharing a wee bit of your experience and knowledge of this site. I love stuff like this.

I think that it must have been a clothes shop but wasn't there for long as I had forgotten about it.

The buildings from 4 minutes onwards are the rear of the shops which were on Correction Wynd taken from St Nicholas Lane just up from the Prince of Wales Pub.

chasscott Thanks!
