The Site of Gorgie Ash Depot "When I grew up in Edinburgh (1930 to 1948) the lane in this Google Earth view was used to enter the ash depot. My aunt lived on the top floor in the tenement to the left. The building to the right with the red door was a men's' urinal (with an attendant who kept it clean). It was a very busy spot after a football game at Tynecastle and when the many pubs closed!" Ken Smith, Calgary, Alberta, Canada: October 18, 2010 |

Around 1945 Ken Smith sent me the Google Earth photo above in response to this photo taken at the Corporation Ash Depot at Gorgie around 1945. |
