South Ward Road, Dundee
The building on the right at the end of the road with the flag pole and balustraded tower is Ward Mills/Friarfiled House. It is the curved office block built in 1873 for Don Brothers, Buist & Co. Raw jute warehouses still line the north side of South Ward Road but the two spinning mills were demolished in 1964. The building is really pleasing from the other side but I foolishly didn't go the end of the road to get a view. The problem of being on a tight schedule.

Ward Mill/Friarfield House, Dundee
The L-shaped building in the centre with a flagpole and blue balustraded corner tower is the office block of Ward Mill. This block was built in 1873 for Don Brothers, Buist & Co. From the other side (not seen) it has a high level of renaissance architectural treatment. I really ought to have made time to go round the other side.

Former house furnisher's premises.
Formerly "Robertsons the House Furnishers", the business furnished many a Dundee home over the generations. Sadly, the business is no longer.

Old Gateway to the Howff, Barrack Street
Entrance to an old graveyard, named the Howff, occupying the former garden of a 13th-century Franciscan monastery. In 1564, following the Reformation, it was granted to the town as a burial ground by Queen Mary, and used as a regular meeting place (= old Scots 'howff') for the town's nine incorporated trades* until 1776. Burials ceased in 1857. Dundee's coat of arms appear above the gateway. Note the sculpted caskets above the pillars.
