Photographs
in Collections
Photographs by Alfred H Rushbrook are in a number of
Edinburgh collections. In particular, photos taken to record the
streets of the St Leonard's district of Edinburgh, before the buildings
were demolished as part of a slum-clearance program are held by the
Edinburgh Room at Edinburgh Central Library, the National Library of
Scotland and the Edinburgh City Archive.
These 'St Loenard's
Survey' photographs are in two volumes, one dated 1927, the other
1929. They were commissioned by the Edinburgh Improvement Trust.

Alfred Henry
Rushbrook's son, Dr Frank Rushbrook CBE, has undertaken the
very worthwhile task of writing an account of his father's life and
attempting to trace some of his photographs.
Thank you to
