70-80 George Street
A photograph looking south east towards 70-80 George Street in around 1986 or 1987.

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 Centre.

The Buttery, a bakery of the A. B. Hutchison firm, can be seen on the left. The bakery appears to have been emptied ahead of demolition. The units further along the street also stand empty.

From 1893 onward, A. B. Hutchison was based in the nearby Central Bakery at 123 George Street. Their shop The Buttery was known for afternoon teas and morning coffee.

The business was started by Alexander Burnett Hutchison (1862-1928), with an initial bakery at 63 Broad Street. The business was carried on by his family throughout much of the 20th century. An obituary for the founder can be found in the Press & Journal of 18th February 1928, page 8.

Approximately where these buildings stood is now the George Street pedestrian entrance to the Bon Accord Centre.
