Aberdeen Memories

THE idea for this book came from the Evening Express readers themselves.

Since Raymond Anderson started the daily ‘Memories’ nostalgia features in May 1998, those readers have provided a steady flow of pictures from the past.

It very quickly became clear that this popular feature was unlocking the hidden past of our area.

These pictures and the stories behind them clearly deserved to be preserved in a book. It was from that conviction that this project was born.

It is our belief this hidden archive of the lives of North-east folk over the last 100 years captures something of the unique character of Aberdeen and the North-East.
