The Fifties and Sixties were two of the most exciting decades Aberdonians have ever lived through.  Skeletons of buildings bombed during the blitz were flattened, others springing up in their place to create a new landscape.  And two significant events occurred in people’s lives - the advent of the North Sea oil industry and the arrival of the first Chinese restaurant.

Take a trip back in time to these two remarkable decades with this fascinating book which features over four hundred photographs taken from our archives.
