Belmont Street

An experimental ink sponging technique to try and capture the historic but slightly seedy Belmont Street in Aberdeen. These houses with their higgledy piggledy windows probably date from the c18th. In the centre is an arch leading down a long steep flight of stairs to the Denburn. This is Patagonian Court. When the street was built the Denburn was a major river that ships could sail up, carrying goods from South America. The river was later filled in for the railway.
