Gilmerton  -  The Old Police Station

Claudia's Café

Thank you to Archie Young for allowing me to reproduce this photograph of the old police station at 79-81 Drum Street, Gilmerton.

When the photograph was taken, the building had become Claudia's Café.  The entrance to the Café, advertising 'Fish & Chips' and 'Pizzas' is set back from the road, beside the bus stop in this photo.

The Café has was later demolished to allow east East Mains Farm Road to be built, giving access to new housing on the NE side of Drum Street.
