George Street

This photo from 1987 shows part of the west side of George Street prior to the demolition of the whole area for the massive shopping development which became the Bon Accord Centre, which opened in 1990. Jaspers Knitting Wools were at No.23, beyond it had been a Granada TV store and to its right at No.17 was Attitude, a clothes shop. Although the buildings had suffered some years of neglect because of the impending redevelopment, the intricacy of some of the original architecture is still obvious. The flats above the business premises were quite run down with some not even having hot and cold water at the sinks and only a shared toilet on the landings.
