Regular price
€19.99
Dundee suffered more than most at the hands of developers in the 1960s and 1970s. Much of the city, the fourth largest in Scotland with a population of around 150,000, was changed in the name of development. Today, the city continues to change, as a multimillion-pound master plan to regenerate and reconnect the waterfront with the city centre is expected to be completed in thirty year period, including the development of a new Victoria and Albert Museum.
This fascinating compilation of early Dundee postcards, photographs and lantern and glass slides takes the reader on a tour of one of Scotland’s most established cities. Principally sourced from the author’s own collection, Dundee Through Time unites a wealth of rare images to reveal that the Dundee of a century and more ago was as colourful and vibrant a city as it is in the present day.
