Old Photographs of England at Leisure
Take a look at some of our favourite holiday photos from the Historic England Archive.
Getting things done – Perth Road #dundeewestend
We recently received complaints about the poor condition of the tactiles at the crossing point on the south side of Perth Road just west of Shepherd’s Loan. See photo below :
We raised this with the Roads Maintenance Partnership Manager who has responded positively below :
“With regard to the worn stick down tactile slabs, we will look to replace the damaged items in due course.”
Getting things done – Annfield Street #dundeewestend
Residents have complained to us that foliage from the trees in the Peddie Street industrial area is significantly impending the pavement on the south side of Annfield Street – see photos :
We have therefore asked the council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership to contact the site owners to have the foliage cut back.

World View – Travelling the Globe through Art & Design
From the Curator of Museum Services at the University of Dundee :
World View – Travelling the Globe through Art & Design
Lamb Gallery, Tower Building, University of Dundee
Running now until 22nd July 2022
Monday to Friday 9.30am-7pm
Over the past two years the pandemic has prevented most of us from travelling. At the same time, we are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of travel.
This exhibition presents an opportunity to see the world remotely through the creative eyes of previous travellers over the past 200 years – artists who used different cultural experiences as inspiration for their work, though often seen through a western, colonial viewpoint.
The exhibition also features a range of traditional and modern designs from other parts of the world – from Korean ceramics to Scandinavian textiles and beyond. All of the objects and artworks on display are drawn from the University’s own Museum Collections.
