Title: 57 William Street, Blairgowrie
Post by: lorrainec on Friday 16 December 22 16:15 GMT (UK)
Hello all.
Can someone tell me if 57 William St., Blairgowrie still stands?
If so, could someone take a photo of the house?

Thanks so much!

Have you tried Google Street View?

William St. still exists, but regrettably the property and area you are interested in, between Union St. and Bankhead, appears to have been redeveloped sometime, I would think in the mid/ late 1970's.
William St. can be viewed on Streetview.

Compare the mid-Victorian map with this modern map, which does have house numbers. It looks as if all the terrace of houses that lined the south side of William Street has been replaced with three modern blocks set diagonally to the street.

Thank you so much, everyone.
It was the family home for a long time .... sad to see it has gone.
