Demolition of the 'Penny Tenement' Beaumont Place |
|
Beaumont Place was part of the Dumbiedykes area of Edinburgh, close to the north-west corner of Holyrood Park. Housing in the area was demolished around the early-1960s and replaced by new housing. The gap on the right-hand side of the street in the view above is where the Penny Tenement once stood, before it collapsed in 1959. |

The large photograph above was one of several dozen taken in 1959 by Adam H Malcolm in the Dumbiedykes area of Edinburgh. These photographs were taken shortly before the houses were demolished. Adam H Malcolm donated these photographs to the Edinburgh City Libraries in the 1960s and they can now be found in the Library's Edinburgh Room Collection. |
