History of Kilmarnock
A comparatively modest settlement until the Industrial Revolution, Kilmarnock extended considerably from around 1800 onwards, requiring the opening of King Street, Portland Street, and Wellington Street. Added later was John Finnie Street, which is regarded as “one of the finest Victorian planned streets in Scotland.” The Sandbed Street Bridge is the oldest known surviving bridge in the area.
