Commentary

Rapid progress is being made with the restoration and improvement of the buildings on the west side of the pier, which are being converted from a low shed to a handsome range of shops. Dundee Evening Telegraph, 14 Sep 1878, p3
Improvements at Newport Pier ... conversion of old boatshed and other low buildings into a range of 7 handsome shops. ... thought it would be necessary to take off the roofs and add to the height of the walls - on examination it was found the requisite height might be attained without that expense. The work has been done ... a range of architectural buildings which will compare favourably with any in the locality.... [extensive details of the buildings] ... understood a pavement is to be laid down in front of them ... all shops except one have already been let ... Dundee Advertiser 29 Apr 1879, p11
