Kilmarnock Cross - Redevelopment

Redevelopment

A complete redevelopment of the town in the 1970s saw some of the streets demolished, including Duke Street, Fore Street, Regent Street and Waterloo Street. Shops were built along the line of Fore Street's northern end becoming the Foregate, the Burns shopping mall covering the old Duke Street area, and the bus station and multi-storey car park replaced the Regent Street area. Some of these shops are built over the top of the Kilmarnock Water, along the line of Waterloo Street.
