Police Headquarters in West Bell Street (left). The University of Abertay (right). The Police Headquaters is built over
the site of the former tram depot which was entered from Lochee Road, but
there was a connexion from the tram depot into the old Police Station which
was in
Bell Street. Between the current Police Headquarters and the
University building is the site of the former Bell Street Drill Hall which
was occupied by the Territorial Battalion of the Black Watch, Royal Highland
Regiment. PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow |

| As
the University of Dundee ultimately dominated the Hawkhill, it would appear
that the University of Abertay and the High School of Dundee will, between
them, dominate Bell Street. PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow |

 |
| The
High School of Dundee is not the only one: there is another High
School of Dundee - in Dundee in the Republic of South Africa.

School pupils in the playground provide a source interest for passengers
waiting in the ultra-modern "intelligent" bus shelters which are the latest
addition to Albert Square. Both continuously updated visual and audio
information is available to passengers. PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow |

Albert Institute (left) was renamed the McManus Galleries, but Victoria's
statue still overlooks the Royal Exchange Building and the Chamber of
Commerce (right). PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow |

Only taxies can now enter Meadowside to the south of the Galleries. What at one time was the
National and Commercial Bank of Scotland at the top of Reform Street
(left) is now a public house. The Chicago-like edifice of D C
Thomson (right) dominates Ward Road. PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow |

Mercifully, this old building in the West Port (left) was spared
redevelopment, but the tenement behind it was not so lucky! The new
Debenhams Building in South Marketgait is connected by a walkway to the
multi-story car park (right). PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow |

The Bank of Scotland (left) and
Debenhams (right) dominate the crossroads between South Marketgait and
Nethergate. Strangely, only the new "gaits" (meaning streets) have not
been corrupted into "gates". PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow |
