Correct, IBM......here's the opposite side of Hamilton Street.

Another good photo I would say from about 1970 going by the cars the early Ford Escort at the front, Hillman Imp and Ford Anglia in the middle of car park.  The photo must have been taken from upstairs in the Station Hotel.

May 25 - 1978.

I took a series of photos of the Eastgate area using the Council's "cherry-picker". Not easy holding the camera steady whilst trying to control your nerves!

I had assumed that this was taken at around the same time as the other one that Second Row published. Maybe even on the same day and/or roll of film - although this one is a bit sunnier.

When were the Hamilton Street and Eastgate buildings demolished?  How long did that site lie empty?

These are great pictures, Second Row.  Any more that you feel like posting will be greatly appreciated!

The first photo I posted, showing the Eastgate car park, was taken in May 1979.

I have earlier ones taken in January 1976 and then up to the Centre opening in 1983.

Here's one of Hamilton Street taken on February 9 1976.

I think it's meant to be in storage at the Highland Council roads depot at Diriebught - just a vague recollection though.

Hi,

Just found your Forum the other day and couldn't resist joining.

This piccie was taken on the 29th May 1979.

(I went into my neg. album and scanned another print...hopefully it'll be a bit sharper to help identify the other 100+ cars.)

Thanks Scotty.....PM sent.

I need to contact Site Admin but cannot find the relevant link.
