              The two 1908 photos above were taken about five years after 
              Granton Gas Works were formally opened.  These views look to 
              the north to the gasworks from the vicinity of West Granton Road, 
              West Pilton. 
              The only structures still standing in 
              2008 are: 
              - the railway station on the extreme 
              right of photo 2, though the railway has now gone. 
              -  the gasholder in the background 
              of photo 2, but perhaps not for much longer. |
