Nethergate, Dundee - Ref: WC0487
This photograph shows the south side of Dundee's Nethergate, with Russell's Royal Hotel standing at the north end of Union Street, which leads to the railway station. The wheel in the foreground is part of a carriage stopped in front of the City Churches.
Charles Kerr, the chemist, was at No. 56 Nethergate, J. M. Connell & Sons, bootmakers, at No. 62. No. 64 was the cigar importer Mrs James Kidd and, above, George Sime the dentist's consulting rooms. The India, China and Japan bazaar was No. 66.
No. 68 was John D. Cameron, another dentist, this one specialising in 'the finest artificial teeth'. Above, A. G. Pringle can clearly be made out, but the name does not appear in the Dundee Directory. Miss E. Tyrie at No. 72, David B. Mitchell at No. 76.
Alexander Wilson who took this photograph, was a supervisor in a Dundee jute mill for over 20 years. He bequeathed much of his collection and £50, to cover the costs involved, to the Free Library Committee of Dundee in 1923.
