Tramway Extensions This is an extract from one of a series of 'Plans and Sections: Edinburgh Corporation (Tramways etc)' produced by Engineer, A Horsburgh Campbell, under the Scottish Office Provisional Order, Session 1924). I chose to reproduce this one as I felt that it demonstrated the industrial nature of this part of Leith in the 1920s. At the extreme left of this map there is commerce: - Exchange Buildings - 3 Banks The remainder of the area is almost entirely industry: - Biscuit Factory - Chemical Manure Works - Chemical Works - Goods & Mineral Railway Station and Yard - Lothian Works (What were they?) - Malthouses - Old Mills - Roperie and Sailcloth Manufactory - Slaughter Houses - Warehouses |
