More about this scene
This interesting view was taken from the western side of the river from the site of today's police station, and shows many of the yards along Church Street. The topmost block of seven houses is appropriately named Elbow Yard. St Michael's Church, demolished in the next century to make room for a car park, can be seen in the centre. At this time Church Street and its environs had a large resident population (which moved in the ensuing century to Helredale, the council estate), which provided both a congregation for the church and pupils for its school. East Cliff, Church Street, the Yards
