Marketgait  
September 2007  
Where the Nethergate crosses Marketgaite, the Bank of Scotland building (left) is complemented by the second Overgate  redevelopment within 40 years.(right) which includes a  Debenhams Department Store and Argos (right) - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow

The City Churches gardens (left) are not so prime as they once were when they were protected by a fence.  On Open Doors weekends it is sometimes possible to climb the St Mary's Tower dating from about 1460.  In the Antiques Room the Nine Trades Stone (above) removed from the Trades Hall (1776) can be seen.  It depicts the nine incorporated  trades of Dundee - Bakers, Shoemakers, Glovers, Tailors, Bonnetmakers, Fleshers, Weavers, Hammermen and Dyers - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow

The Market Cross and the now rather bleak frontage to the City Churches viewed from the Nethergate (left).  Looking from the Nethergate along Marketgait towards Dundee Tay Bridge Station which is officially now called Dundee Train Station - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow

Most of the railway yard has been removed but it still forms a barrier between Tesco Riverside and  the plethora of new buildings which have sprung up on the former railway property (above).  Looking towards Marketgait and the former Mather's Temperance Hotel (right).  The Hotel is a listed building scheduled for redevelopment, but the high rise and unloved Tayside house is scheduled for demolition - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow

Viewed from Greenmarket, the Discovery Complex forms a backdrop to the much truncated railway yard with the roof of Dundee Train Station to the right of the Class 158 Diesel Multiple Unit (left). A fenced off style that appears to lead to nowhere (right) . PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow
