The next building was one of the places which helped to make the
Pans famous — Mellis's Soap Works with the big house called St Ringans,

Corps.
At the bottom of Rose Mount we had the telephone exchange, in that
lime kept by Mrs Ross and family, and then another part of Fowler's
Brewery to the bottom of Harlaw Hill. This has now been replaced
by the new supermarket, so my memories of the old shops on the Pans
High Street must come to a close and make room for the new. But
some of these names will always be remembered when the name of Prestonpans
is mentioned.
