Tenement
Image: © Bill Harrison Taken: 11 Oct 2008
A typical Aberdeen tenement block at the very busy junction of Berryden Road (heading off to the right) and Westburn Road (heading to the centre left). The niche in the nearer chimney breast has found a new use as a home for satellite dishes. The date-stone in the corner reads "Loyal Order (of) Ancient Shepherds 1904 A. U." where A. U. means Ashton Unity. Founded in Ashton-under-Lyne (a suburb of Manchester) in 1826 as a "sick and burial club," the Shepherds are still functioning today as a friendly society.
