NO 41182 30553 A desk-based assessment and watching brief were carried out in June 2009 prior to development work at Shed 25. The eastern part of Shed 25 was constructed in 1864/65 and it is the oldest surviving transit shed in Dundee. Two buildings in the area adjacent to Shed 25 are depicted on the 2nd Edition OS map of 1903 and are also visible on oblique aerial photographs of 1943.
The watching brief successfully identified the remains of the two buildings shown on the 2nd Edition OS map. The remains consisted of red brick wall footings, which sat on substantial concrete foundations. A second phase of work consisting of a standing building survey of Shed 25 will be undertaken.
