Looking West This view looks to the west from the junction of Burgess Street and Water Street. The houses are on the NW side of Water Street. The street still exists but the houses were demolished in 1912. I believe that the street sign immediately to the left of the lamp post reads 'BOWIE'S CLOSE' A little more investigation will be needed to discover more about the lettering on the building below this sign 'LEI...E WOR...' ** The sign on the building on the right, above the larger group of children reads 'BURGESS STREET' ** UPDATE: See 'Reply 1' below |

Looking North Here is another view of the same buildings, but looking at them from the other side, looking towards Leith Docks. |
