Thank you
to Eric Bower, Edinburgh, for providing the following additional
information. Eric wrote:
"JB Watson's
Frederick Street shop closed around 1967 or '68. Their Shandwick
Place shop remained open until the very early '70s The
company was owned by a family called Beddows and there was also a
branch of that family called Steele. They were all directors." |

Dates
The lists have been compiled mainly from the Edinburgh & Leith
Trade Directories. Many of the companies may in fact have been
in business for longer.
Where I have found additional information (e.g. from adverts in
Transactions of the EPS) I have included it.
I will also include some details of some more companies that have been
in busiess more recently in Edinburgh. |
