Dundee, Victoria Road And Wellgate 1904

Photo ref: D81308

I was a student at Dundee University from 1993 to 1999. I have numerous great memories there. I miss spending my Sunday window shopping in Wellgate, walking to Tesco by the riverside, walking up to the Law, and Saturday night at the Odeon Cinema. Dundee's strawberry tart is one of the best I've ever known, and I never miss them, every summer Winter was bitterly cold. Everybody was always so happy though ...see more

In relation to Reform Street and the city square on Friday/Saturday nights. We boys and our latest girlfriends (only if you had a car) used to meet and have a drag race either up Reform Street and back or a race from city square out under the rail bridge and back - obviously when the local bobbies were absent of course! I remember a Ford Anglia with a Lotus engine dropped in it being the main car to beat - easy for a bike, but not on the riverside run - four wheels were better....great fun!

Hi, I lived at No 4 John St from 1948 to about 1960 before moving to Ann Field St and then up the Hilltown to Ann St (Carnegie Tower). The town council must have found out that I had moved down to the West Midlands, for when I looked on google maps a few weeks ago all the houses that I lived at have been knocked down, or in the case of Carnegie Tower it was blown down. Mind you, Ann Field St wasn't too good back ...see more

I remember travelling from Newport to Dundee (and back) many times on the ferry. I know there were two boats but I can't remember their names. I have a feeling one was THE ALICIA CRAIG ?? but not sure. Can anyone help with the names or photos, or both please.
