Shared Memories of Dundee

Click to enlarge
Dundee, Reform Street 2005 (ref: D81708k)
 Year: 1945 Good Old Days
Meeting my pals under the clock and walking around on Sundays, going dancing at Robbies once a week. My Mum and Dad also would meet under the clock.  Dancing at the City Square on VE day. I was living with my Grandmother on Princess Street, where I was born, I was sent back to Dundee in 1944 because of the VE bombs.  My first job was in Willie Lows Grocers.  There was nothing like seeing the New Year in with the bagpipes in the City Square.  Oh, so many happy memories.

Dundee, Reform Street 2005 (ref: D81708k)
 Year: 1950 Meeting Place
Seeing this brings back memories of many happy meetings. In my day the foot of Reform St was the place where all of Dundee's friends and lovers seemed to meet. Late at night the fish and chip stand on Boots the Chemists corner was also a popular place to meet. Many a happy Saturday was spent walking down the near by Overgate full of all manner of small shops.

Dundee, Dudhope Castle 2005 (ref: D81703)
 Year: 1954 DRI
I did my SRN at the DRI. Seeing the photo of the Castle brings back happy memories. My husband and I spent many happy hours in the grounds surrounding the Castle. On my last visit to Dundee the housing complex in the grounds of the old DRI were not yet finished but one of the Turrets was still standing. I wonder if it still stands. If anyone out there has a photo of the DRI I would love to see it posted on this site.

Dundee, Dudhope Castle 2005 (ref: D81703)
 Year: 1958 Dudhope Park by the Castle
My name then was Watson.  I used to live in Dudhope Crescent Road, which was opposite a small grave yard by Bell St, sadly no longer there.  My granny used to take to roll my easter egg down the hill near the swings.  In those days the castle did'nt look like this,  peacocks were in cages there.  You got a lovely view of the DRI and across the Tay to Fife.  Those were the days, unfortunately things have to change.  The DRI has gone and Dundee is not the same anymore.  I still come home every few months to savour the memories.

 Happy Days
The castle is beautifully restored now but when my sister and i were wee it really looked like a haunted ruin. We used to scare ourselves silly running through the middle door to get to the playpark on the other side.

This photo will always be significant to me as we were  married in the castle on 10th of June 2006. It is a lovely setting with beautiful gardens.
