If you look closely you will notice that the Adelphi Hotel was externally re-clad to create the Boots frontage as we knew it, though I was surprised to see that it appeared to have been extended further along Argyle Street.
Don't remember if I posted this story before or if I have just been telling it lots.
Apparently when Boots was being demolished they uncovered the old building was behind what was just a curtain wall exterior. So you are correct Neil. I have this from a very reliable source. _________________ I had a dream today
Oh the old Boots Corner! Heard many a story of guys being stood up there. Any secrets you old folks want to share with someone who is almost as old but was stood up in another country? _________________ We've gone on holiday by mistake.
I will be forever emotionally scarred from my one and only time standing on this corner.
