A glimpse of life in post war Broughty Ferry has been captured in rare black and white photos.
The images were taken by the Town Planning Department and are stored in the Dundee City Archives.
The album they are in is titled “Album of Properties to be Demolished”.
They show just one chapter in the tight-knit community’s fascinating history.
You can see better quality versions of the photos here.
The photographs date from about 1954 to 1970 and show the changes that happened in post-war Dundee.
As the name of the album suggests, Dundee Live understands that some of what we see in the pictures was demolished soon after the photos were taken.
We have sourced local images of the area - including Fisher Street and Jetty Lane - to compare before and after views.
In a couple of photos, the Ship Inn is clearly visible - especially in one, behind a line of washing - but some of the buildings around it have either gone or been changed.
It helps give a little bit more insight into this fascinating area and showcases how big a part The Ship Inn played in the community.
The pub dates back to 1847 when it was first listed as a spirit dealer serving the fisher folk of the local area..
The land around the western end of Broughty Ferry was once owned by the Douglas Home family from which the town's Douglas Terrace derives its name.
The rough shoreline along the front was replaced with a walkway which extends from West Ferry to Fisher Street and can be seen in some of the photos.
On a side note, as well as highlighting some interesting changes to the area, the images also remind us just how classy traditional street lights looked - every time DundeeLive sees one we think of Narnia and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe!
