Union Square Aberdeen

Aberdeen Guild Street railway station was the former terminus of the Aberdeen Railway. This station opened to passengers on 2 August 1854 as the new terminus of the Aberdeen Railway, replacing the former temporary terminus at Ferryhill. It also served as the terminus of the Deeside Railway, which had an agreement to use the station and the portion of track between it and Ferryhill junction. At the time, the southern terminus of the Great North of Scotland Railway was at Kittybrewster and the two termini were connected by a tramway through the harbour. The Great North of Scotland Railway was extended in 1856 bringing the new terminus, Aberdeen Waterloo closer to the city centre, but still not connected to the Guild Street station. On 4 November 1867 the Denburn Valley Line and the new Joint station was opened. This connected the Great North of Scotland Railway and the Aberdeen Railway, which had since become the Scottish North Eastern Railway, which was in turn absorbed by the Caledonian Railway. Guild Street station subsequently became a goods yard. A large goods shed was built in 1900 which remained standing after the goods lines within it closed, subsequently being used for car parking. It was demolished in 2002. The site of the former goods shed is now occupied by Aberdeen bus station. The remaining freight activity ceased in 2007 and was transferred to Raith's Farm (on the Aberdeen–Inverness line) and Craiginches depots. The site was used for Union Square, which opened in 2009.

Phipps, a London-based architect brought in to consult. The auditorium was rebuilt in 1897 by theatre architect Frank Matcham, but then closed temporarily in 1906, following the opening of the larger His Majesty's Theatre. The smaller theatre was extensively reconstructed in 1909, again by Frank Matcham, and re-opened in July 1910 as the Tivoli. The Tivoli was refurbished again in 1938. The theatre became a bingo hall in 1966. In the mid 1980s plans were made to improve the bingo-oriented facilities and the building, but little was actually done. The building finally closed for bingo in 1998 and became disused. From 2000, The building had been in private hands, and attempts by the Tivoli Theatre Trust to purchase the building were unsuccessful, as of 2006.

Shiprow is a historic street in the heart of Aberdeen, Scotland, near the harbour. Formerly the Shiprow sloped upward more gradually than it does now, and it crossed Union Street in a depression between St Catherine's Hill on the west and Castle Street, once high uneven ground, on the east. That the Shiprow has been made up several feet can be seen by a house at the end of Exchequer Row, and it crossed Union Street and entered Broad Street at a lower level than the present. The Shiprow was one of the most important streets in the city, since it led from the harbour into the Castlegate area - the heart of Aberdeen. It is first mentioned in documents in 1281. Over the years it became more and more rundown and, although it had many historic connections, nearly all of it was demolished in the 1950s and 60s. Exchequer Row known locally as Cheq'ra Wynd (first mentioned in 1350) was a short congested lane connecting the Shiprow to the Castlegate, and on its right side, were a number of courts leading into an area crammed with insanitary dwellings which were later demolished. It was popularly supposed that the name Exchequer Row derived from the Aberdeen Mint which stood in the area. However, it comes from the name of the Royal Customs House - the Skakkarium, dating back to the 14th century. Provost Ross's house, dating from 1593 and the second oldest house in the city, is located here. Since 1981, it has housed part of the Aberdeen Maritime Museum. Shiprow has changed dramatically in the last few years and now houses, alongside the Maritime Museum, the City Wharf office development, PureGym, Hotel Ibis, Lane7 Bowling Alley and Vue Cinema.
