Title
Netherkirkgate in 1932
Description
A photograph looking west along Netherkirkgate towards the Wallace Tower in around 1932. On the right, the businesses H. Cordiner, joiner, Petrie & Co., plumbers and electricians, and Lewis Smith & Son, stationers, are shown. There is also the sign of three hanging balls for a pawn shop beyond. The buildings on the left remain at the time of writing in 2023. Those on the right were demolished to make way for the new Marks & Spencer building. This photo is taken from the Aberdeen Bon-Accord and Northern Pictorial 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 Netherkirkgate - This was one of the most noted thoroughfares in Aberdeen, leading from the heart of the town to the city kirks. Like other streets in this vicinity, its glory has departed, and the city improvers will soon have it transformed, if not blotted it out."
