Fairbairn's Furniture Stores (Former), Cossars Wynd, Dunbar

A series of linked storage buildings running from the rear of 67 High Street down Cossar's Wynd, culminating at the junction with Church Street. 2-3 storey stone built traditional warehouse with pantiled roof on Church Street. Various door and window openings to Cossars Wynd and with 3 smaller windows and 2 larger door openings to Church Street. The building appears on the 1st edition 6 inch OS map, and may appear on the John Wood plan of 1830, at which point Cossars Wynd was referred to as Crow's Wynd. 3 small interlinked storage buildings linking 67 High Street with the former warehouse on Church Street. Semi-industrial style culminating in a hipped tiled roof over a four storey warehouse - which itself seems to appear on the 1st edition 6 inch OS map.

The area between Castle Street and the harbour has seen much 20th century development, however through the 17th and 18th century the location was home to large numbers of Dunbar's warehouse/ industrial buildings. General Roy's map of 1750 shows a route to the harbour on the line of Cossar's Wynd rather than Silver Street. (Dennison, Stronach & Coleman)
