Perth Road, Dundee - Ref: WC0541
This shows the north side of Dundee's Perth Road, leading eastwards into town towards the right.
At the extreme right of the image is Mrs Robertson's Coach Hiring Establishment, at Nos. 43-45 Perth Road. The painters and decorators at No. 47 were Thomas Brown & Son. Mrs C. Foote, a draper, is listed at No. 49, and baker William Coupar at No. 51.
To the left and west of Miller's Wynd was the grocer and wine merchant James Aitken, an agent of Kawakawa tea. He lived at No. 55 Perth Road. The business lasted well into the 20th century as a wine shop and delicatessen.
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.
