32 Loch Street (Post Office)
A photograph looking south towards the Post Office branch at 32 Loch Street in around 1986 or 1987. Norco House and the Aberdeen Public Soup Kitchen would have been across the road, behind the camera here.

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.

As can be seen below a royal cypher for George VI, this Post Office branch on Loch Street dates from 1939.

Its final day of operation was Monday 13th April 1987. An article covering its closure, to make way for the shopping centre, can be found in the Press & Journal newspaper of that day on page 3.

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.
