Beach, esplanade and fishermen district of Aberdeen (also called Footdee or Fittie). Compared to the grayness and granite that dominates the city, this zone was so refreshing :D

Plus: polite seagull asking for food in the esplanade instead of simply stealing it like the rest xD

John Henry Anderson was born in The Mearns, Aberdeenshire on 14th July  1814.

Anderson’s father was a tenant farmer at Craigmyle. His parents died when he was ten years old and he became an apprentice blacksmith.

He met with a group of touring players when he was 17 years old and joined them with ambitions to become an actor. Whilst with them he saw magical tricks being performed in the street and soon took an interest in magic and set about establishing his own type of magic which he first performed in Aberdeen. He was the first magician to perform tricks and magic in any theatre in the British Isles.

the first nickname of John Henry Anderson which was The Great Caledonian Conjuror. However this was soon changed in 1840 to The Great Wizard of the North. He claimed that the title was given to him by the original Wizard of the North, Sir Walter Scott. John Henry Anderson is also sometimes referred to as the Wonderful Wizard of the North and as Professor Anderson, the Wizard of the North.

John Henry Anderson performed his magic acts in theatres, showgrounds, fairgrounds throughout the world, including America, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Australia and Russia. He gave a command performance to Russian Czar Nicholas. He later moved to London and opened the News Strand Theatre.

John Henry Anderson is credited as the first magician to pull a white rabbit from a black top hat.  His other tricks included,  The Inexhaustible Bottle Trick where a bottle would produce any drink asked for by a member of the audience and  The Gun Trick where he appeared to catch a bullet fired from a musket, which was always kept as the finale of his act in order that ‘ladies might withdraw, to avoid witnessing it

John Henry Anderson married Hannah Longherst from Aberdeen in 1842. She was an assistant with his shows. A year later they had a son who they named John Henry Junior. He became an illusionist. They would later have two daughters who also  became magicians.

Anderson had a mistress called Miss Prentice. In 1845 they had a child called Philip Prentice Anderson. Sadly his mistress died during the birth and Anderson supported the child. He took another mistress who was a member of his touring troupe, she gave birth to another son.

In 1845 John Henry Anderson had built the large Glasgow City Theatre. Sadly it was burnt down five months later. In 1849 he was summoned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to perform at Balmoral Castle, though some sources state this to have been at their London residence.

John Henry Anderson died on 3 February 1874 in Darlington. He is buried in the St Nicolas Kirkyard in Aberdeen, next to his mother.

John Henry Anderson was considered to be the greatest magician in Scotland, often compared to Harry Houdini. As seen in pic 3, Houdini himself  visited Anderson’s grave in 1914. The site was badly neglected and Houdini undertook its restoration and upkeep.

Nr:2 – En mulen dag vid stranden

Jag håller på att smälta bort här i Skottland. När man tänker på utbytes resor i Skottland säger de flesta regn, regn och lite mera regn, men under min första vecka här på den nordöstra kusten så har det regnet en gång. Temperaturen har legat runt 7 celsius de flesta dagar, men det är luftfuktigheten som ger mig en chock, i bland kan den hamna runt 90%! Det är just vätan i luften som får mig att…

In the face of housing shortages and exorbitant rents, the post-WWII Labour government set up rent appeal tribunals across the country whose role was to impose fair rents for tenants. Shot in the Footdee and Castle Terrace districts of Aberdeen, the film revolves around the actual case of a dental mechanic, Norrie Williamson, who despairs when, out of the blue, his landlady hikes the rent. Norrie wants to appeal to the tribunal to reduce his rent but his wife fears it will result in their eviction.

Made with the co-operation of the Aberdeen Rent Tribunal, its Chairman Mr R. S. Aitkey plays himself in the film. Local involvement also came from another Aberdeen resident, Mr Norman Mitchell, who appears as a member of the tribunal, while Mr R. A. Livingstone, a former clerk to the tribunal, takes on that role. Director Mary Beale was a founding member of the Documentary and Technicians Alliance, Britain's first film co-operative, and the producer of this film. Beale made several fascinating films that vividly capture the post-war spirit, including Dover Spring (1947), also available on BFI Player. This government film is a public record, preserved and presented by the BFI National Archive on behalf of The National Archives, home to more than 1,000 years of British history.

If only we had decent governments that cared nowadays.
