What is recorded here

31 and 33 Castle Street in Dundee still stand as a public house, though no date or name has been recorded to mark when the rooms first filled with voices. The numbers sit close together on an old street, the kind of address people repeated until it became a landmark. Perhaps the building has changed hands several times, kept its shape because the neighbourhood needed a warm room where work could be spoken plainly.
