South Quay looking up Copenhagen Street in the 1920's
South Quay looking up Copenhagen Street in the 1920's. St Andrew's church spire can be seen in the background. The church was demolished during the 1940's, although the 18th century spire was retained. St Andrew's Institute was formerly the Wherry Inn which was a popular Waterman's haunt during the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1923 the inn was converted into the St Andrews Institute, a men's social club but only survived until the 1930's when the area was cleared. Today the area has been developed into public gardens, while the technical college car park occupies the right hand side.
