Broad Street
Description
This image was digitised from <i>Artistic Aberdeen: A Sketch Book</i> (1932) by W. S. Percy. The book describes the scene as follows: "Broad Street, a vista which in years not very far off, may again under go change. This was formerly named the Broadgate, but this part of it now, as compared with the plaza in front of Marischal College from which the drawing has been done, is rather ironical. The part seen in the drawing is also entirely given over to the municipal offices; at the end is the Town House, the tower of which can be seen. On the left are the offices of the Aberdeen Journals Limited."
