These long neo-classical ranges were built in 1851-6 for jute spinning and carpet weaving. The closest is Tay Calender, now a Travelodge. Dundee still boasts many interesting former textile mills and I had a couple of interesting hours walking round this area. The street on the left with its name above the to let sign is the real Bash Street and the sign has illustrations of the comic characters on it - The Bash Street Kids. In reality it's a short and unprepossessing street and I didn't realise what it was until I got the image home.
