Pictures of Leith 5. Around 1911 and 2011 |
|
Old Album Below are 8 of the photos from an old album that was sold in a jumble sale at Portobello, a few years ago. They appear to be photos taken for Leith Council in the years leading up to the amalgamation with Edinburgh. I took photos from the same locations recently. - In some cases practically none of the original scene remains. - In other cases, very little appears to have changed over the intervening hundred years. ___________________________________ A Removed March 1910
