How thing have changed in 5 years in this part of Kirkwall . Marina has been constructed along with the new breakwater. New Police Station built, Travel Centre started, North Eastern's shed knocked down to make way for houses. The Emporium site cleared for Lidls. The Phoenix knocked down for the womens refuge to be built. The mart has gone and the Library is in its place, construction is underway in this photo. I'm sure there are other things I have missed

Thankfully a lot of these changes have been captured on film and uploaded to this site for the future.

Amazing to see how much has changed in less than five years. New Marina and breakwater, police station has been completed, Lidl's has arrived, new Travel centre has started, Library completed, Somerville Square at the legion and the Phoenix is no longer!

The silos on the pier have gone and the East Kirk has changed too.
