Apologies for lay-out, Blogger has been redone and I can't get the hang of it. This is the Holburn Junction Tram Shelter (now office) and is the first of my new blog project finds. The project: to find and draw clock towers around Aberdeen, especially working ones. I love a clock tower and the links they provide to days before the wrist watch, as well as being an exciting architectural punctuation to the skyline.
The Holburn Tram Shelter has an art-deco style mini tower and I love to think of people looking up at the tower and then peering along the road for their tram approaching. The building is sadly, easily overlooked, as it is unloved and right by a huge busy roundabout at Garthdee. But check it out if you are around there.
So look up today and find those clock towers where you live! Any pointers to Aberdeen clock towers would be gratefully received...is there one near where you live?
