Date:1904 - 1910 (c.)
Description:The Old Paregoric shop is the first building on the left, with MacGregor's Baths and Institute to the right of it. The Paregoric Shop was given its name after a patent medicine containing opium. The Revd William MacGregor, a promoter of muscular Christianity, built his Baths and Institute in 1886. The building at the end of the street is the former workhouse, which housed Belgium refugees in World War One. It was demolished in the 1960s and the Post Office was built on the site. The present Co-op stands on the site of the Paregoric shop and the Baths and Institute.
