Causeystaines 1905

Causeystaines 1905

The name Causiestaines was originally given to a group of tenements surrounding Kirkton Park, and the tenement just visible on the left of this 1905 picture, built in 1894, still bears the name.

Today, the view up Broompark Road looks very different. Whilst Blakeley's Public House still exists, the building next to Causeystaines has been demolished and replaced by a small brick extension to a dental surgery, plus an adjoining car park. There is another car park on the right, and beyond that a garage repair shop and a children's nursery. The wall and trees have also gone and modern houses stand on thier site. Main Street is as busy today as it seems to have been when this picture was taken.
