Title
Gallowgate in 1932
Description
A photograph showing a no. 20 bus driving up Gallowgate in around 1932. The image looks south towards Marischal College from outside no. 121, James T. Scott's Shepherd's Bar, later the Blue Lamp. This photo is taken from the <i>Aberdeen Bon-Accord and Northern Pictorial</i> 1932 annual, page 46. It is one of a number illustrating an article by G. M. Fraser (1863-1938), city librarian, titled 'The gates of Aberdeen: intimate study in street nomenclature.' The caption accompanying the photograph reads as follows: "The spacious Gallowgate - older citizens have hardly yet accustomed themselves to the adjective "spacious" as applied to the Gallowgate. 'Old crabbed ways' are rapidly disappearing, and the transformation of this area has undoubtedly been stimulated by the setting of the new buildings of Marischal College in their midst."
