The majestic Queen’s Park Terrace,  Thomson’s finest tenement block, built 1856-60.  One of the most notable in a city of tenements, it was A-listed,  but  was allowed to fall into dilapidation, was condemned, and in the face of much protest the council went ahead with its demolition in 1981.  

August 1973.
