At its creation this Loch Street branch replaced a Post Office at 242 George Street. Following its closure, the Post Office opened a new branch in the St. Nicholas Centre on Tuesday 15th September 1987 (Press & Journal, 16th September 1987, page 5).
The site shown in the photograph would become the location of part of the Bon Accord Centre's north elevation. |
