Albert Road
This road is fairly typical of Broughty Ferry, where in the 19th century the prosperous merchants of Dundee built their mansions, surrounded by leafy gardens and usually stone walls to keep out prying eyes, though Albert Road does now have some more modern housing developments. No prizes for guessing whom the street was named after, of course; Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, consort of Queen Victoria.

Albert Gardens
This is the view in the opposite direction from Image], and I think it is much more attractive in this direction. Albert Gardens is almost the epitome of quiet suburbia - a development of two dozen matching bungalows in a cul-de-sac off a quiet street. It stands on the site of a typical Broughty Ferry Victorian mansion which was demolished in the mid-20th century.

Bowling Green in Albert Road
A beautifully manicured green; the rather stark building in the background is part of the Grove Academy complex.

Elmbank House
This is taken from almost the same spot as Image], and provides a complete contrast. These two houses are on the Victorian 25 inch to the mile map, when there were no streets at all west of Claypotts Road. They are now surrounded on the east by the buildings of Grove Academy.

Grove Academy
The main entrance to the new building on Claypotts road is startling, certainly not dull. This was well outside school hours, and the place was busy with comings and goings of adults, presumably using the school sports facilities.

Grove Academy
The main architectural feature of the new buildings is a semicircular tower which in some ways echoes the towers of Claypotts Castle, just up the road. It is a refreshing change from the rectangular grey-white concrete block style of school building which provided so many blots on the urban landscape in the 1960s and 1970s.
