old photo of unknown town and buildings

[Mr.S.]

Thanks for your help ,I tend to agree that the town is Ayr;found that a photo taken 3 years ago in Ayr had part of what looks like that building in background.Actually had b and b near it.

The brickwork chimney stack on the building to the left rear looks Elizabethan.  Not common in Scotland.

The phone box in the second picture looks surprisingly light-coloured for GPO Red.  Is it possible this is Kingston-Upon-Hull, where the boxes are yellow?

Still think it looks like Ayr, Hibee.
There is a house,  with the row of nine chimneys,  still standing on the street adjacent to the Ayr County Building, Sheriff Court. You can see it on Google Streetview.

Hi Looby,

I agree with you, even the flagpole is in same place. The phone box is not there, I think it was red anyway, the sunny day makes it lighter, I think.

Hi Mr S

100% with Loobylooayr.  Definitely the north end of the west elevation of the former Ayr County Buildings, looking towards Bath Place.
