78-80 George Street/32-38 Loch Street

A photograph looking south east at Loch Street, from its junction with 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.

From right to left, the image shows The Buttery, a bakery of the A. B. Hutchison firm, at 78-80 George Street, a Post Office at 32 Loch Street and the Swan Bar at 34 Loch Street.

On the site of these buildings now stands the north elevation of the Bon Accord Centre to the east of the main George Street entrance. At the time of writing in 2023, the ground floor unit in the centre in this area is occupied by a womenswear shop called Hobbs.
