Title
Schoolhill from St Nicholas Churchyard
Description
This photograph taken in 1880 from St Nicholas Churchyard looks north showing a row of houses which stood between it and Schoolhill. These houses were demolished around 1884 as part of an improvement scheme to widen Schoolhill - named after the old Grammar School which stood nearby. A dwarf wall with ornamental railings was erected in place of these buildings and a porter's lodge was removed from Robert Gordon's College to form a lodge for the Sexton at the entrance to the churchyard.
