From a drawing by E. Beattie, in the Free Public Library..
BEATTIE made this drawing showing the south side of the street in the year 1849. All the houses were removed in 1 the year 1855, part of the ground they occupied being used to widen the street, and the remainder was added to St. John’s Churchyard. In the year 1898 the Corporation acquired the whole area, demolished the Church, converted the churchyard into a public garden under the title of St.John’s Gardens, and threw it open to the public in the year 1904.
