Newhaven Streets Annfield Promenade |
|
This view looks to the east along the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, from Newhaven towards Leith. The photograph was probably taken about a hundred years ago. Today, in 2005, the houses on the right can still be seen, but the slope down to the water has vanished, having become land within the Leith Western Harbour complex. Thank you to Walter Lyle Hume for sending the following recollections of Newhaven |

Walter wrote: Annfield, Newhaven "Whilst acknowledging the picture post card of Annfield, Newhaven, to be very old, I recollect playing on the fore-shore. We used to call it going down the 'Bulwarks', and over a period of time watched this area being filled in with mud from the dredging operations pre-war to create what was then known as the extension, and now the enclosed dock area." Walter Lyle Hume , Cowes, Isle of Wight, England, formerly Newhaven: 5 April 2005 |
