Robin Jackson describes the restoration and unique artistic features of this architectural gem. Carly Eck, Shirley, England Despite the visual resonance of modernity, after having drawn upon examples from Parisian Couture, British mass produced and Fair Isle jumpers, my research argues that sweaters of the 1920s were entrenched with tradition. The very representation of a knitted garment, even if machine-made, is a representation of an archaic and ancestral technique. The notion of fashion folding back on itself is something which Caroline Evans refers to as a labyrinth, the most new having a relation to what is most old. This in itself can appear contradictory from the very nature of fashion, which breaks from the past and can be thought of as a Figure 1 – The Carron Restaurant, southern aspect reaction to what went before, though by breaking Courtesy of Robin Jackson from what directly came before, it can delve back further.

Origin of the Carron Restaurant The Carron Restaurant was opened on the 24 th July 1937. It was part of the extended and re-modelled Northern Co-operative Society premises on Evan Street that were then seen as the last word in modernity and business efficiency. There is some evidence to suggest that the Evan Street store with its grocery, butchery, bakery, drapery, shoe shop and pharmacy, was one of the first supermarkets in Scotland. An extract from The Mearns Leader for June 24 th 1937 conveys some of the excitement felt at the time of the opening of the restaurant: “In the midst of all this perfection there stands out a chef d’oeuvre – the tearoom which is, without exaggeration, the finest to be found in the North of Scotland.
