View from the Centre of Princes Street
This is one of a
series of photos that I took photo on September 16, 2010, the day that the
Pope visited Edinburgh. There was no traffic travelling along
Princes Street, but the north side of the street and Princes Street
Gardens were 'out of bounds', so I took these photos looking up to
the shops from the centre of the street.
The shops at these addresses have been (left to right):
|
2010 |
1970 |
1950 |
93 |
Vacant
Being Redeveloped

Littlewoods
Department Store
** |
|
92 |
R & T Gibson
Grocers |
91 |
The Balmoral
Restaurant |
*
I believe this is the site where Primark are due to
open their clothing store in late-2011
** No
shop was listed at this address in the 1970 edition of the Edinburgh &
Leith Post Office Directory. However, RCAHMS has a photograph of
Littlewoods at this address, dated 1970.
Acknowledgement: Gus Coutts, Duddingston, Edinburgh for
remembering that Littlewoods were at this address.
