Postcard of The Academy, Kilmarnock
Postcard of Kilmarnock Academy with a turquoise
border. Postcards were a far more common method of
communication then than now, with people from Glasgow, for
instance, sending postcards home to show that they had arrived
safely in far off and exotic destinations such as Kilmarnock or
Ayr! In the late 19th and early twentieth centuries, it was
rare for people to own cameras and so stationers up and down the
country sold postcards of everything from local landmarks, small
villages, and industrial towns.
This postcard shows Kilmarnock Academy as it was, just off of
London Road on Braeside St. In 1997, additions were made to the
rear of the building to create a modern annexe that was connected
to the building by an adjoining corridor.
