Dundee's official history as a burgh stretches back more than eight hundred years, though there is much evidence of settlement in the area long before that. The nineteenth century saw its expansion into a large industrial city. This began years of unprecedented change which have seen buildings, industries and ways of life come and go. Dundee suffered more than most cities in the mid-twentieth century drive for modernisation as not only long-established buildings but parts of the ancient street pattern were swept away in large scale demolitions in the 1960s and 1970s. At the same time, the city lost its natural connection with the River Tay as some of its docks were filled in to make way for the landfall of the Tay Road Bridge. More recently the city has sought to reconnect with the river and Dundee continues to evolve, adapting to new changes in lifestyles and ways of working. Lost Dundee presents a portrait of this corner of Scotland over the last century to recent decades that has radically changed or disappeared today, showing not only industries and buildings that have gone but also people and street scenes, many popular places of entertainment and much more. This fascinating photographic history of lost Dundee will appeal to all those who live in the area or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.
