I have found Herons Lane it is on a map of Dundee which my late father gave to me some years ago.
He was from Dundee originally.

It was in the Lochee area. A little lane off Kirk Street which is between South Road and Liff Road.
Kirk Street still exists if you google it but Herons Lane must have been demolished.

Hope this helps.

You can see Herons Lane on this map https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/337530/731459/13/101329 you will have to zoom out a couple of times, unless you have a subscription.

Dorrie, Heron's Lane might still be there. http://cartographic.info/uk_street/map.php?id=370228 - is this where you think it was?

Hi Monica,

Yes that's it. My error I didn't read Shelly's answer correctly.

Apologies

Dorrie, don't think it helps really here as the original buildings look long gone really...

That is not where Herons Lane was in the 1930s. You can see a 1937s map at  https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/337530/731459/12/101208
That area has been completely redeveloped since then. see the aerial view at https://goo.gl/maps/4VEibegXom62
and a comparison old and new at http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/sidebyside.cfm#zoom=17&lat=56.4722&lon=-3.0162&layers=171&right=BingHyb
