The video starts off with a red brick building at the start of Quarry Road, a builder's yard which was previously known as "The Grain Store". I don't know anything about this building in its previous life as a grain store, but was demolished in 1999 and is now the site of Kwik-Fit.
Conway's old premises were demolished and rebuilt somewhere in the region of 2003.
Cochrane the Ironmonger's old premises were demolished in early 1987 to make way for the new Safeway supermarket. It was rebranded "Morrisons" and shut down and demolished in 2006. Aldi and the surrounding retail park now sit where it was.
Thornhouse Court is a new development on Thornhouse Avenue. It sits where two large gasometers used to sit, supplying gas to the town. The site lay empty for many years before the new houses were built on their old site.

Thanks for the nice comment. I'm really glad you are enjoying the videos. The photos in these videos were taken by both my brother and myself. We never realised how important they were at the time. But it just shows how important it is to take photos of the ordinary (boring even?) things in life, because before you know it, they've gone and there's no record of them.

It's so important to record these things whilst we can; once they're gone, they're gone.

Really like these videos, live in Irvine myself. Not old enough to remember most of these changing. Nice to see how the town developed.

Yeah, exactly. The world evolves so fast around us that its hard to even notice all the little things changing. Irvine being such an old and established town too makes it interesting how the new developments grow around the old and in most cases inherit their land.

Glad you enjoyed it. I sometimes forget how much this place has changed, 'cos I've lived here all my days and it's happened bit by bit. Jogs the memory when I look back at the photos. You may have passed by me on the bike last night when I was out with the dog in Bank St. I was getting a few "after" shots with the camera for the next production (the info tag on the photos says 6.35pm).

Very nice. I have a load of old super 8 films of the Thornhouse Avenue/Duncan Drive/Beech avenue area somewhere. Would love to see some images of Curries Sports Shop and the old Cinema down the lane. Thanks for uploading.

The East Road supermarket site was never Morrisons. Opened as Presto in March 1987, converted to Safeway late 1989. Closed down late 2004/early 2005. Demolished and site became an Aldi.

Thanks for that :-) There's more to come when I have time to work on them. Also, my brother took a lot of the photos I post, so it's as soon as he can dig them out and we can meet up, time and work permitting.

You should start a "Lost Ayrshire" group. Invite folk to send in copies of Irvine, Kilwinning Saltcoats etc for your channel! I'm interested in this sort of thing. I would love to see 1970's/80's photo's/Films of Kilwinning. I was born there and lived there until I was 9, I moved to Edinburgh. I'm always keen to see other viewpoints.
