Belmont Street

This image was digitised from Artistic Aberdeen: A Sketch Book (1932) by W. S. Percy.

The book describes the scene as follows:

"Belmont Street, which leads from Union Street to Schoolhill, is a mixture of the old and the new, and has undergone many changes in recent years. Almost a third of the left-hand side in now occupied by the Central Secondary School and its hall, which was formerly a church. There are still two churches in this short street, with the other two round the Schoolhill corner - which also houses a cinema, the British Broadcasting Corporation's studios, the Aberdeen Trades' Council and Boy Scout headquarters. But the history of the street is largely ecclesiastical, and dates back only about a century and a half."
