West End - early 1960s #dundeewestend


With thanks to SJ Bogue and Dundee Memories, a great early 1960s aerial shot of the West End from Perth Road at Seabraes looking west.

The photo was labelled "1950s" but we think it must have been taken from the Tower Building and this did not open until 1961.   We also note the Perth Road tramlines are gone so the photo was clearly taken after 1956 when the tram service ended.

The number of large factory chimneys in the photo show just how much the area has changed over the last 60+ years!
