Thank you for posting these wonderful old photos. Brings back memories - I was born there (John Finnie Street) during WWII.
I visited the Academy and was horrified to find how much it has gone downhill.

@Nessie309 YOU ARE RIGHT IT WAS AS YOU SAID IT WAS I USED TO GO THERE OFTEN WE LIVED IN MILL LANE JUST ROUND THE CORNER

I'm sure the Academy Cafe was on Sturrock Street just south of the Academy steps - back in 1960s we'd come down the steps from Kilmarnock Academy and go into the shop and buy sweets there... This was before all the new one way system was put in place...

Amazing pictures, Kilmarnock is so steeped in history.
I moved to Canada and found a small town exactly like Kilmarnock used to be 30-40 years ago, now you only have to watch a series like 'The Scheme' to feel ashamed to call the town your own.

I moved to Canada and now live in a town that has the same value's, politeness and feel that Kilmarnock did 30-40 years ago. I am horrified at the way my home town has degenerated. You only have to watch 'the scheme'!
