A Snowy Sutherland Street: Past and Present

The snowfall over the last few days has provided the prefect conditions to photograph Sutherland Street and compare it with a similar snowy photo taken around c1930s.  Brian and I (Jacquie Aitken) went for a walk today and tired to stand in the same location where the old photograph was taken, so we could compare the two images - see what you think!

Sutherland Street c1930s - Much more snow back then!

We also took a photogrpah of the North side of Dunrobin Street to compare it with another older image - I think this one is more accurate, but how much has changed?

On our walk we chatted to a few local residents about the different lanes in Helsmdale - I didn't realise there were so many.  Some names highlighted were Frank's Lane, The Mound and Embo Street.  If anyone has other lane names please get in touch - we will add all this information to the village community arhive in Timespan.
