Dee Village Electricity Works

A photograph taken in April 1901 showing the land cleared in preparation for the construction of the Dee Village Electricity Works.

This image was taken from the bottom of Crown Street looking east. Milburn Street is on the right and the now demolished Dee Village Road is on the left. A steam train can be seen on the Wellington Road, later to be South College Street, viaduct in the middle distance.

The premises of Charles R. Fraser, paperhanger and decorator, can be seen in the foreground. Signs on the shop's windows indicate that it is moving the following month to 127A Crown Street.

This image is from an album of photographs held by Aberdeen City Libraries detailing the construction of the Dee Village Electricity Works.
