Old Photograph Commercial Street Dundee Scotland

Old photograph of shops, people and buildings on Commercial Street in Dundee, Scotland. The upper part of Commercial Street was rebuilt in the re-planning of the old central area of the town. The eastern side was designed in an approximation to the Paris of 1876 but it was not finished until 1892. William Mackison, burgh engineer, began the design, in 1871. Its name indicates the considerable commercial activity in the town, especially in Trust business. The lower part of Commercial Street was laid out and partially completed by the Town Council in 1834, chiefly to give easy access to Exchange Street.
