To put a date on it, my earliest memory of that map was watching Dundee United fans using it to find Love Street before the cup tie where Fitzy scored the winner and McAvennie fractured his skull, which would have been about March 1982. In my defence, I can't remember any of the other maps mentioned, and my only memories of County Square are in colour, not black and white.

Eric Arthur Blair Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Was stopped at the lights earlier and couldn't fathom out what/where the building above the wheel alignment sign was.Without googling anyone want to guess?Well I know there's a pend which takes you into a wee car park at the back of Farmfoods but it looks a bit further along than that, perhaps the back of the Chamber of Commerce building.

Looks like part of the old BK building, but from a deceiving angle. between forbes place and the old training centre, I don't really think there are many other buildings there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
