Same place today.

Either they jacked it all up to add a storey or two, or it's a weird but strangely endearing architectural pastiche.

Wow, that is really weird. (Pic edited to B&W).

Cool.

Scrapyards used to be fantastic places. Ok many were  fairly lethal but who cared, the cool mix of cars, the scrambling over rusty piles of metal , smell of old engine oil & the ability to easily & cheaply get  parts for your old clunker, that you took off yourself (thus helping you figure out how the fuc*ing thing went back on) outweighed all that.

I really miss the scrapyards of old.

Crown Street Aberdeen around 1976.  I lived in this street 1990.  Usually had to park about half a mile from the flat, often spent ages in the mornings wandering the streets trying to find my car so I could go to work.

I stayed very briefly in Dee St when I first moved to Aberdeen in '08; parking was still an utter nightmare. The car mart is now a Triumph bike dealer.

The stalled bloke is about to be run down in Union St, I think at the junction with Market St.

That lady is the spitting image of my maternal grandmother. A dress exactly like that is what she often wore, and the Hat, Hair Handbag and gloves were  just like that. They also had a 1939 Plymouth very similar to that.
