Station road, I took a very similar photo a couple of years after this.

How odd, I don't ever remember Morrison's being there.

Morrisons being in Station Rd had slipped from my memory. It was a temporary building put on the site of the old Emp'/Casino. I think it was only there for 3 or 4 years between Morrisons moving from Hope St when it was re-developed and the opening of the new building in the Galleries.
