Jenners Depository The large building in the centre of this photo was Jenners Depositary, a distinctive red-brick warehouse at 140 Balgreen Road, with imitation black+white astragal windows. There is a good view of the building, just to the north of the line, after passing Murrayfield Stadium, on a train journey from Edinburgh to Glasgow or the North of Scotland. It was built in 1925 and sold by Jenners around 80 years later. It is now used by Edinburgh Self Storage Co to provide the only heated self storage facility in Edinburgh. |
