Lost Dundee

Lost Dundee Dundee is one of Scotlands best-known but least understood places. Known for Jute, Jam and Journalism but there is so much more than this.
(882)

Most of Dundee's history has been lost even the Jute, Jam and Jobs are gone. This page attempts to change that. Dundee has lost a lot of its heritage over the years becoming almost unrecognizable but what is not lost is peoples memory's. Share your lost memories with story,photo and video.

Lost tenements of Lochee Road shown boarded up not long before demolition in 1994

Can you spot the tramway overhead poles?

These tenements were destroyed with the excuse it was for Road improvements that never happened.

Here we see a Police officer named Frances Fleming during a civic responsibility
exhibition.

These were often organised by Dundee City Police to engage with the public over the years.

Who remembers the Safe Taysiders Police days out?

Here she is showing the pupils from Stobswell Boys School a road sign quiz game to help them understand and be safe on the roads. The photo was dated to 1968.

The Bus Station Late 1970s

Originally Dundee's main bus station was located on Shore Terrace behind the Caird Hall.

In 1973 with the plans for the Tayside House in place a new location had to be found and so it moved to its new location here, to what was W. Alexander & Sons' station who were a private bus company who built the building in 1958. Now known as the Seagate Bus Station.

Many a memory waiting here.

This station now Lost to history as it was demolished for the present building.
