Description:
|
This 18th century plan shows properties at the junction between James Street and what is now Regent Quay, Aberdeen. The drawing includes a detailed plan of one building and adjoining vacant ground. The proprietors of neighbouring properties are named. In this area of Aberdeen there had been much land reclamation in the post-medieval period. Parson James Gordon's map of 1661 shows the James street area as dry ground formerly flooded. There were no buildings on it at that point. The line of the harbour and the quay is shown, with the position of a crane marked. The innermost point of the earlier harbour had been to the west, near Shore Brae, and excavations showed late medieval harbour walls there.
