  • Aberdeen History Trail the City Through Its Historical Times
    Aberdeen History Trail The city through its historical times #aberdeentrails #aberdeentrails Aberdeen is bursting full of history! From its ancient origins to medieval burghs and King Robert The Bruce, from the Jacobite connections to the expansion in the Edwardian and Victorian times, the ‘Silver City by the Golden Sands’ has a long, important, and interesting history with many of its people contributing to the wider world. The city started out as three separate royal burghs – Old Aberdeen, New Aberdeen and Torry plus the parish of Woodside – which expanded and merged together to form the city as a whole. There was a major expansion in the Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian eras as the city made its first fortunes based on fishing, granite quarrying and shipbuilding and many of the grand buildings were built during these times. It also included the main thoroughfare, Union Street, which was raised up away from the mud and dirt and built on a series of bridges – it was such a major project it almost bankrupted the city! Enjoy exploring our beautiful city and finding out about its history!

This part is one of two devoted to the business founded by William Winsor and Henry Charles Newton in 1832, trading as Winsor & Newton and then from 1882 as Winsor & Newton Ltd. It is one of very few artists’ supply businesses with origins in the early 19th century still trading today, albeit no longer in family hands. The business has been a significant supplier of canvases and panels. For canvas marks, see Part 10. For further information, see British artists' suppliers, 1650-1950 - W on this website. Measurements of labels and other marks, given where known, are approximate and may vary according to the trimming of a label. Links are given to institutional websites where the dimensions of works can be found. Square brackets are used to indicate indistinct or missing lettering in transcripts, with readings sometimes based on other examples. Compiled by Jacob Simon, January 2019, updated February 2020, and based on the pioneering work of Cathy Proudlove and the suppliers’ database created by Jacob Simon.
