Guild Street, Aberdeen
Guild Street is a main street in the city centre of Aberdeen, Scotland, close to the harbour.[1][2]
Historic buildings
Her Majesty's Opera House opened in 1872.[3] The listed building of the reopened Tivoli Theatre, Guild Street drill hall, and the Station Hotel[4] are on the street. The Custom House,[5][6] 2 Guild Street[7] and 50, 52, 54 Guild Street[8][9] are noted.
Stations
Guild Street has Aberdeen railway station and the city's rebuilt bus station on it. Alongside these is the site of the former Guild Street railway station which became a goods station after the construction of the "joint" railway station (on the site of the present facility, which is itself the second building to house the "joint" station), but the former goods station has since been closed and demolished, leaving only some goods sidings behind the site.
Union Square
Guild Street is home to the second biggest shopping centre in Scotland, Union Square. Built on top of the old Guild Street railway yards and goods station, the centre opened in 2009[10] and cost £250 million. The rear entrance of the Trinity Shopping Centre is also on the street.
