It was nice to finally get all the way into Ayr’s Town Hall earlier this year, and see the stage together with the organ.
Not so sure about the councillors though 😜
Then again, this was Comic Con.
I was beginning to think the only way I’d get in there would be to splash the cash and go to one of Aaron Hawthorne’s superb recitals (which we get for free in Glasgow).
I have to confess I’ve been looking at this sign for the Stage Door for so long I barely notice it.
The Town Hall is behind the camera.
Sad to say, it seems I’m a tad late to the old one, which is weathered and peeling, but is still a remarkable survivor.
The top line is missing the second word, and some present day vandal has placed a modern sign over the lower wording – hard to guess what it was, from the single letter ‘S’.
There is no more to the right – I had to crop the right part of the image as it was just overexposed bright white sky.
The sign is located on the right-hand wall of Police Close, as seen below.
A number of Ayr’s closes have been given descriptive plaques, including Police Close, and this one is mounted opposite the old sign, on the left-hand wall.
