  • Renowned Engineer & Bridge Builder Sir William Arrol Is Featured In
    Renowned Engineer & Bridge Builder Sir William Arrol is Featured in National Science & Engineering Week 2014 : Building Bridges : Rozelle House, Ayr : 22 & 23 March 2014 Friends of Seafield House (FoSH) is pleased to be participating for a second year in South Ayrshire Council’s National Science & Engineering Week programme, which takes place at Rozelle House over the weekend of 22 & 23 March 2014. FoSH is contributing a two-cabinet display exhibition on renowned engineer & bridge builder Sir William Arrol (1839-1913) whose home for many years was Seafield House in Ayr. It is fitting that Sir William Arrol is featured in this year’s “Building Bridges” programme, given the Scottish Government’s recent submission of its bid to UNESCO for World Heritage status for the Forth Rail Bridge, one of Sir William Arrol’s construction marvels. “Building Bridges” is one of two themes that South Ayrshire Council has chosen for its programme in National Science & Engineering Week 2014 under the event title “Steps to Discovery 2014: Bicycles, Bridges and Beyond”. Our contribution focuses on three of Sir William’s iconic bridges: the Forth Rail Bridge, Middlesborough Transporter Bridge & London Tower Bridge. In partnership with the Meccano Society of Scotland, FoSH is offering bridge building activity and the opportunity to see working scale models of these Arrol bridges made by Meccano Society of Scotland members. FoSH Committee Member Kirsty Menzies has sourced the film “The River is Spanned”, a reconstruction of the building of the Forth Rail Bridge using original photographs. Made in 1950, the film is shown by courtesy of filmmaker Harry Birrell & the Scottish Screen Archive.

    AYRSHIRE MONOGRAPHS NO.25 The Street Names of Ayr Rob Close Published by Ayrshire Archaeological and Natural History Society First published 2001 Printed by The Cromwell Press Ltd, Trowbridge, Wiltshire Rob Close is the author of Ayrshire and Arran: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (1992), and is presently co-editor of Ayrshire Notes. He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.
