Photo 1 I've been asked to identify the buildings in Photo 1. They are in the SE corner of White Horse Close, near the foot of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Photo 1 appears to have been taken probably some time in the 19th century. If you know who took it or when, please email me. Photos 2 and 3 Photos 2 and 3 are monochrome and colour images of the same photo. They are the same view as Photo 1, but were taken today- July 20, 2012. The view is the same as Photo 1, looking to the south into the SE corner of White Horse Close. Comparison of Photos 1, 2 and 3 (i) Most of the features in the central part of Photo 1 can be identified in Photos 2 and 3. The fabric of the building appears to be in considerably better condition today than it was when Photo 1 was taken. (ii) The doorway on the left of Photo 1 has been converted to a window. (iii) The right-hand portion of the building in photo 1 has been partially demolished, i.e. the section with the double-window in the roof and the three windows below it has been removed, leaving a shallower building. A lean-to, one-storey building has been built in its place. Peter Stubbs, Edinburgh, July 21, 2012 |
