The building on the corner of Main Street was built c.1930 as the Commercial Bank of Scotland. After the war it closed as a bank and became a shop, eventually Keiller's bakery and latterly Andrew G Kidd - so that's actually three bakers for the price of one!<br /><br />The building on the corner of Kinghorne Road was by a different architect and dates from 1934. It is Category B listed. Don't know about the boilermakers' club though.Neale Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-22780352473435508822011-06-07T15:18:13.265-07:002011-06-07T15:18:13.265-07:00What was the shop on the corner next to Roughies? ...What was the shop on the corner next to Roughies?

I just realised ...Moving away from bacon rolls...!<br /><br />I just realised that normally we look at Dundee street scenes from the sixties and say, 'This has gone and that has been pulled down and everything has totally changed,' but almost every building in this view is still standing. It's a valuable surviving fragment of 'Old Dundee'.Neale Enoreply@blogger.com
