16 Schoolhill/arch (looking north)

A photograph looking north showing the east elevation of 16 Schoolhill and a connected wall with arch in around 1986 or 1987.

This image is one of a series taken by Aberdeen City Council to record buildings prior to the redevelopment of the area and construction of the Bon Accord shopping centre.

The house and area shown were located to the north of Schoolhill, between George Street and Harriet Street. Historically, it had been the site of a carting contractors company called Wordie's and associated stables.

This arch would have been the main entrance to the stable buildings. The south west corner of the Bon Accord Centre is now on this site.
