Mural I've not sampled the food in this cafe, but I like the mural on its bricked-up window. It adds a touch of colour to the corner of Anchorfield and Hawthornvale, Leith. Please email me if you know of any similar artwork on windows of other cafes or shops in Edinburgh Peter Stubbs, Edinburgh; December 27, 2013 |

Thank you to Rosalyn Carey (née Shaw) for sending me the message below about Anchorfield Playground, and also for commenting on this photo taken at Anchorfield in 1910:

8 Anchorfield "I was born in 8 Anchorfield in 1938 and I just want to say that The Haven cafe used to be the Co-op (called 'the store') and we used to buy our 'rations' there. When you entered the shop there was a long, wooden counter (the length of the shop) on the left where you made your purchases and the cash desk was on the right. You handed money/coupons to the staff and they sent it over to the cash desk via overhead zip wire, so the staff never actually handled the money!"
