Taking a look down Holburn Street

Taking a look down Holburn Street The Abeerdonian

Holburn Street has been one of Aberdeen's busiest roads for decades, which is why in this week's Aberdonian we've decided to take a look back.

From shops, bars and post offices many city residents will have vivid memories of working, shopping or walking there.

Here's a collection of images showcasing the past of the street from 1977 - 1995.
