Old Photograph Victoria Road Dundee Scotland

Old photograph of Victoria Road, Dundee, Scotland. Victoria Road was built to give access to the north of the city by avoiding the unduly steep Hilltown, as a result of the Dundee Improvement Act of 1871; it followed the line of the old Bucklemaker Wynd, which had become something of a slum area but whose name is a reminder of the days before shoelaces displaced buckles, and of the eminence of Dundee in an earlier period in the manufacture of saddlery, sword belts, straps and scarf pins.
