A Place With History.

What do you see here? A street scene? A deserted road?  Maybe an area that looks some what ruin down?

To be honest it Is probably a mixture of all three.  These two photographs are taken in an area of Aberdeen that once held the city's fish processing plants.

The large scale fish processing plants and factories are unfortunately now ling closed, destined for history, to only live on in people's memories.  The area which to be honest was going downhill and not the nicest to walk through are now being slowly regenerated, the same process that happens in cities up and down the country as the industries change and develop over the years.

The first photograph looks alongside the bridge that carries the main railway line into Aberdeen.  Most of the archways have now been sealed, creating premises for a wide array of small businesses.  The other areas are also being demolished and upgraded with new office complexes at an astonishing rate.  I'm sure that in a few years the whole area will not be recognisable, the history of an industry lost but to a few.
The second photograph is underneath one of the bridges that caries the rail line.  A favourite of mine, it is so full of character, maybe not to everyone's taste.
