West Pier This photograph of Joe Moracen, standing in front of a Leith Docks Commission life belt was taken during one of his regular Sunday walks along West Pier at Leith Harbour, before Leith Western Harbour was constructed. Joe is still [in 2005] a member of Leith Local History Society. |

'Tally Tower' Thank you, also, to Joe Morrison for providing a copy of this oil painting of nearby Leith Sands. The painting is taken from two photographs by Jerome from the mid-1930s. They are the only two outdoor photos in Edinburgh that I have seen by Jerome. The figure at the front of this painting is Joe Moracen. In the background is the 'Tally Tower' - the Martello Tower, which is now situated within Leith Western Harbour, close to the harbour entrance. |
