Hi Bart,

My interpretation of this one is:

Richmond Cafe
Correction Wynd
Aberdeen

A quick check on Google shows many responses to Correction Wynd, Aberdeen; and some responses to "Richmond Cafe" "Correction Wynd" Aberdeen.

All the best,

AndrewP

Or was the cafe in the Wynd?

Hi

Correction Wynd is a lane running past St Nicholas Kikyard. It now passes under Union Street. There are still a few eating establishments there including a very good tapas bar!
