King Street was once the principal business street in Kilmarnock[1]
King Street was opened up in 1804. King Street runs from the Cross over the Kilmarnock Water and on to the junction with Titchfield Street. Many historic buildings in King Street (including the Town House and the King Street Church) were demolished during the redevelopments in the 70's and 80's. These buildings were replaced by modern architecture which stand in their place today.
The most notable redevelopment and arguably greatest loss from a historical and architectural perspective was the demolition of the eastern side of King Street [2] Para 4.28
