This photograph
is taken from Blair Street looking towards the Gilded Balloon
Theatre in the Cowgate.
When this photograph
was taken work had just begun to dismantle the walls on the south
side of Cowgate by hand, working from a platform suspended from a
crane.
The workers here are dismantling
bricks from the 6th floor of the building in the Cowgate.
This photograph was taken on Friday 20 December. Later the
same day, the whole of the wall in the Cowgate (except for an
arched portion at the base) collapsed. |
