My view for many years fae a young age.

Fkn love this view of Tannadice. When folk wanting to chant could congregate together it worked well and spread out.

The second photo - are we the only team in the history of football to have lost a goal from the 6 second rule?

Can't think of another actually.

The 80's and 90's.

Back when we used to wheel out 'Dolly birds' for the new strip photoshoot.😂

Cracking picture of Hamish scoring the penalty!

Here's Tannadice and the surrounding area in the 1920s.

Presumably for keeping the opposition in.

This is a brilliant pic. 3 pitches. The allotments. Church on the corner. Dens Road School. Bowbridge Works. Anyone know what the works opposite our stand & between that & the Dump are?

smedDUm, the Angus Jute Works is closer to Tannadice in the picture, the other, nearer Dens, was the Densfield Works (Mill Furnishers & Engineers). Densfield was owned by Thomas C Keay, hence the end of that name at Dens Park.

The TCK Group went into receivership in 1977, and the plant and machinery were auctioned off in lots.

Angus Jute Works was an even earlier casualty, dying in the late 'sixties/early 'seventies I think, bought over by a Calcutta company.

From what I've read, much of the city's jute used to go to India (and then India and Pakistan after partition), and Dundee gained a lot of wealth from Asia. But it was the Asians who eventually bought over the jute industry, often backed by money from the USA.

Thanks Pat.
Ah the TC Keay end, what's not to love?
1965 & 1983

Just had a look at a map of Dundee I have from 1901 Pat. At that time, the works were called Angus Jute Works and Clepington Works (later Densfield). Interestingly enough, Tannadice Street is still called Esk Street on the 1901 map.

Were you involved in the jute industry?

My old boy worked for a very long time for Sidlaw Yarns latterly at Mahattan works on Dundonald St. They were taken over and sold off bit by bit (maybe about 20-25 years ago?).
