Which Street? Do you recognise this street? The name 'Nixon Ltd' appears at the top right hand corner of the adverts. At first, I thought this might have been the owner of the building and that this might have helped me find the location of this photo. However, this was not the case. The 1930-31 edition of the Edinburgh & Leith Post Office Directory lists 'Nixon Ltd' as: "Billposters and Advertising Contractors, 25+27 Elder Street" |

Where? "This photo is different in that it is going up hill in what is a relatively flat area apart from the Pleasance. The surface also has a light tarmac covering similar to Photo 14 of the Pleasance. You might be able to pin it down from the trade directories for the straw and hay shop – probably Louden?"

East Crosscauseway "I think this is the north side of East Crosscauseway, viewed from the East end. Whatever that business is, just off the right edge of the picture, they may be located at the South end of Pleasance, so perhaps may be found in a trade directory?"
