These old buildings are all on Henry Street, must have been a hive of industry judging by the number of warehouses, Mostly converted to flats now
Excellent set of pics GD :handclap:
Would love to take a look in some of these places.
I think that the white building on the left in the first picture was a gun club,with a shooting range.
The buildings on Henry Street were the first examples of merchants living and working at home (living above the shop).
This area was also the first example of a property boom, whereby there was a premium attached to the land and properties that were nearest to the first central docks. Hence, why a lot where built quite tall for the time.
The merchants house which is now the Greek Taverna in the photo above dates from around 1780 I think and is a listed builing too.
Great Pic's Ged!
In my opinion All these biuldings should be Listed (at least Grade 2), then (maybe) something could be done to breath some Fresh Life into them!:034:
I agree, though i'm afraid being listed guarantees nothing. The owners, council or otherwise should be answerable to somebody after a certain time.

The Bridewell corner of Campbell Square and Argyle St
Really good photies of yesteryear. Amazing when you walk down old streets and see the designs of warehouses etc, built over 100 years ago.
Great pic's Joe! I like all of the buildings on those corners, especially no'1,though I think it's empty?
