317 Pilton Avenue

Bob and his Mum

Thank you to Bob Sinclair for allowing me to reproduce this photo of himself and his mother, taken at his home, 317 Pilton Avenue in 1937.

Bob tells me that;

-  the open land in the background was later converted to allotments

-  the LMS Railway from Princes Street Station to Leith via Pilton and Granton Road stations ran along the far side of the field in this photo.

Following the allotments, Ainsley Park School was built on the eastern end of this field, immediately to the right of the part of the field seen in this photo.

Ainsley Park school has now been demolished, but 317 Pilton Avenue and the other houses in the Avenue are all still standing.
