VANISHING VICKY - EARLY 70'S

Another group of photos from the early 70's showing the demolition around Victoria Road.

Top picture is of the upper area of the Vicky.

2nd image, from the edge of the crater, was taken in Charles Street off the Wellgate. The derelict building at the opposite end, was the Kings Road location.

The 3rd view is where the buildings I displayed on yesterdays post would have been positioned.

Lastly, a look back over from the other side - the photographer was standing in Kings Road at the time.

THE VULCAN BAR - 1970's - #3

Beam me up....

Up go the wooden beams on The Vulcan Bar windows as the pub now awaits to be phased-out completely..!!

THE VULCAN BAR - 1970's - #2

A view from the Kings Road side this time and The Vulcan Bar is still managing to cling on (Klingon!!) to biz.
Next to it, boarded up, is Dundee auctioneer, Ben Fenton's.

THE VULCAN BAR - 1970's - #1

On the corner of Victoria Road and Kings Road was Spocks favourite hang-out, The Vulcan Bar. Here it is in the early/mid 70's, still open for business...but only just. As you can see, most of the Vicky has been boarded up, and further down the demolition has started.
I was never in the Vulcan - by the time I was drinking age, all that area had disappeared.
