Tivoli Theatre, Aberdeen
Tivoli Theatre, Aberdeen

The Tivoli Theatre is a theatre in Aberdeen, Scotland, opened in 1872 as Her Majesty's Theatre and was built by the Aberdeen Theatre and Opera House Company Ltd, under architects James Matthews of Aberdeen and Charles J. 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. In April 2006, some cosmetic preservative work was observed at the building. On 10 July 2009, the owner of the Tivoli Theatre decided to sell the property to Mr Brian Hendry. On 16 July 2009 during a meeting with the Aberdeen Tivoli Theatre Trust, Mr Hendry outlined his intention to operate the Tivoli Theatre on a profit-making basis as a mid-scale venue with ancillary facilities, through the Tivoli Theatre Company Ltd. The building was restored. The reopening was funded by many businesses. The Tivoli was listed on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland.On 19 April 2012, it was announced that the Theatre had been made wind and watertight and that its frontage had been brought back to its former glory. The next phase of the restoration was set to bring the interior up to 21st century standards, including a 450-seat auditorium, a cafe and a gallery. The theatre reopened on 25 October 2013 with Inferno, an original play by Thomas Bywater which ran from 25–27 October 2013. On 7 December 2013 Attic theatre's production of Robin Hood and The Babes In The Wood became the first Pantomime at the theatre in 50 years and was followed by Sleeping Beauty in 2014 and Dick Whittington in 2015. Attic return in 2016 with Aladdin. Joseph Purdy Productions became the first UK touring pantomime to visit the Tivoli in July 2018 with Rapunzel. All three levels of the theatre are now open. The theatre was closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and is set to reopen in August 2021.

Aberdeen Guild Street railway station
Aberdeen Guild Street railway station

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.
