Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Old Townhouse bus stop. High Street, Old Aberdeen. This widened area of the High Street in Old Aberdeen was planned to give room for the old weekly open-air market of the Burgh. On a plinth stands the worn remnant of the market cross. Facing the market area is The Old Town House. This was the administrative headquarters of the Burgh, where the provost and bailies held court. Above the doorway is the Burghs coat of arms with a Latin motto (touchingly appropriate for a small Burgh): Little Things Increase Through Harmony. The Old Town House was built in 1788 by George Jaffray to replace a previous one of 1702. Since 1891 it has housed various bodies: a church mission, a Masonic Lodge, a police unit (complete with old jail cells) and a library. The University of Aberdeen has recently conserved and refurbished this building, restoring it to daily public use. The Old Town House contains information on the Universitys teaching and research and is the new visitor information centre for Old Aberdeen. |
