The building on the right are Victorian sandstone villas built from stone quarried at Mauchline.
In the picture on the left, taken around 1920, "The Place" is visable in the centre of the
picture. It was not possible to open up Earl Grey Street and New Road until the early 1800's
when the Sun Inn was demolished. In Burns time the Inn was owned by John Miller, whose
daughters are referred to in the poem "The Belles of Mauchline". Not much has altered between the two pictures except the shrubs at the corner of the Glebe and a petrol station being built on the left hand side. |
