610 Looking west along Sinclair Road from where it meets Greyhope Road. The more easternly of the two leading lights is on the right.
Above the wall on the left of the image is the location of Campbell's Bar. It closed down on 28th August 2016. Public houses had operated on the site, under various names, since the 1860s. It was noted for its excellent views of the harbour mouth.
This photograph likely dates from the 1980s. Westerton Farm
1474 A photograph, likely by James G. Kellas and from around 1951, showing one of either two farms known as Westerton. Both have since been demolished.
It could be the Westerton Farm that was located on the old road that preceded Provost Fraser Drive. Near where Provost Fraser Drive now meets Springhill Road, in the space between Provost Fraser and Springhill Terrace.
This Westerton Farm was demolished shortly after this photograph was taken to make way for the development of the Northfield housing estate.
Across the old road from this farm was the lands of Springhill House and Farm.
The other Westerton Farm was just to the north east of Northfield Farm and a bit south of Dancing Cairns Quarry. This farm was also previously known as Midtown.
Like Northfield Farm (demolished late 50s/early 60s), this Westerton survived the initial development of Northfield as a housing estate. Ordnance Survey maps suggest the farm made way for the construction of Marchburn Court, and the extension of Smithyhaugh Road, in the mid-to-late 1960s.
It is difficult to say for certain which farm this photograph shows. The hills in the background perhaps suggest we are looking west towards the more northernly Westerton, the one nearer Northfield Farm. March Stone 2
3493 A photograph from early-2020 showing March Stone 2 embedded in the kerbside of Fonthill Road shortly before it meets the Holburn Street roundabout. This photograph looks west. Ferryhill Library and its carpark are to the rear of this site. Aberdeen Beach
4196 A photograph showing an older couple towards the sands of Aberdeen Beach on a sunny day. In the distance figures are shown enjoying the seaside.
The enclosed play area, with shelter, was located on the sands between where the Beach Boulevard meets the Esplanade and the Beach Ballroom.
This image likely dates from the 1970s. It comes from a collection of slides donated to Aberdeen City Libraries by Aberdeen City Council's publicity department. |
