Lamp Posts This photo comes from the Edinburgh Street Lighting collection of photos held in the Edinburgh City Archive. The photo was taken presumably to show the lamp standards in Princes Street, following the removal of the old tram tracks after the trams stopped running in 1956. |
|
Traffic The Traffic here is quite light, with cars parked on both sides of Princes Street. The card and vans are small compared to many that we see today. |
