Queen and John/Then and Now

A watercolour from 1851 looking N/E across Queen.
 Sometime in the 1980's and the two little shops have survived. Photo by P. Cummins.
A somewhat current view reveals at least one of the stores has survived .
(St Patrick's Grocery, now a BMV)
The building to the right (Angus McIntosh Groceries) survives today as East! and formerly the Beverley Tavern. The roofline tells the story.

  1. The store to the left of St. Patrick's Grocery used to be called 'Textile Market' and it was a wonderful place in the 70s and 80s to buy shoes and leather jackets cheap!
