Prestwick location recognition

[Hibee]

This is me being taken for a hurl in 1949, probably in Prestwick.

Does anyone recognise the location, from the pillars and the pots?

Long shot: could the building behind you be a pub? Looks from this angle like those frosted glass windows some older pubs sometimes have.

Or a small hotel?

I could be wrong but I think it looks like the old red lyon near Prestwick cross across from the main post office on the main St I  think it was a hotel in those days but now only a pub I think I will check it out next time im in the uk

Thanks, David.

Had a look on google maps, and can't get a fit for the door and windows.

Cheers

Hi Hibee,

I have only lived in Prestwick for three years and I did have a quick look along the Main Street when you first posted but couldn't find any building to match. Could it have been in Ayr?

Hi Andrew

Ayr is a possibility, but I doubt it was much further than that.

Thanks.
