Marillionboy Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Can anyone tell me what this building is on the right of the picture? This must be screamingly obvious but I just can't get my bearings!http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/acc/YourCity/PictureGallery/800x600/Tallships.jpgAlso, anyone have a hunch where this picture was taken from?http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/acc/YourCity/PictureGallery/800x600/accIWharbour1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeker Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 first one is the big spire ur on about? thats the building next to shoreporters /exile studios facing the harbour. The church on the left of the picture is on the walkway up to Tiger Tiger.Second one is probably from Salvesen (Sp?) tower, next to where the ferry dock is.

KeirBobs Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I may be wrong but i think the lit-up building on the right in the 1st pic is the Harbour Board's offices which, as said previously, are located next to Shore Porters.

Guest Laura@TMB Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 A photo of the Harbour Board's building (and many other excellent photos of the harbour from years gone by) can be found here if you're interested:http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.abdn.ac.uk/diss/historic/harbour/images/ahb0024.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.abdn.ac.uk/diss/historic/harbour/text/ahb1_1page24.html&h=442&w=610&sz=50&tbnid=07ElSDc0uYoJ:&tbnh=96&tbnw=133&hl=en&start=27&prev=/images%3Fq%3Daberdeen%2Bharbour%2Bboard%26start%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26hs%3DoYb%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official_s%26sa%3DNThe building second from the left (with the 3 dorma windows) is the The Moorings (formerly Simon McLeods) and Richards Tattoo parlour (formerly the Baltic Boot Store). The paper store next along with the pointy roof, right along to the end of the Harbour Board's offices (building with clock tower), were later demolished to build the monstrosity known as Virginia Street.
