Clyde: Undertaker's Building (1)
Housed in one of Clyde's oldest buildings, on Holloway St., Clyde, is the small stone shop of L.Vercoe.
He was the local builder as well as the undertaker: it was common in those days to combine these occupations.
An earlier builder, Thomas Wilkinson, who worked on many buildings in Clyde, had the hospital contract to bury paupers.
In the front window is a display of beautiful cross-sections of railway iron, dating back to the early days of steam rail.

UPDATE: as of Feb.2025, this building is still standing.
