Next door [Nos. 14 & 15 in Griffith's 1859] were Johnston & Armstrong (Drapers) [Local Nos. 31 & 33]. Next door [No. 16 in Griffith's 1859] was H. W. G. Weir (Grocer) [Local No. 34, which is just about visible on the photograph]. Next door [No. 16a in Griffith's 1859] was Miss Woods (Newsagent). [Local No. 35]. Next door [No. 17 in Griffith's 1859] was The Wine Store [Local Nos. 36 & 37] and so on up to the junction with Society Street. The next photograph shows a section of this part of the street in 1953.
