@Stuart Lyon Stuart? Now that the Belhaven pic has been found, what was on that corner of Belhaven Terrace and Morningside Road before roughly 1980?

You are an absolute star ginga, it’s been doing my head in. Tried everything I could think to get the Belhaven and nothing. How did you find it?

Morgan from the look of this OS map it was Morningside Station that occupied this site It closed in 1962 so don't know if there was some other use made of the site before the bank and the pub were built..

Thanks Stuart.

 

So, between 1962 and roughly 1980/81 (when we think the Belhaven opened) we don’t know what was on that corner. Probably a bank we reckon?

There exists another picture of the Belhaven that I have seen recently . Can’t remember where I saw it or find it.

 

This is when it had big white lettering above attached to the brickwork. 

 

Do do you have this pic of the Belhaven ?

The picture of the Belhaven that I posted was from 1989 - I have another from 1983 similar paint, but only have The Waiting Room on the brick/tile work.

This is the 1983 picture with gold trim to the panels the 1989 picture above has black trim to the panels. Very similar paint jobs.

It's definitely Marinello's but I'm not sure if that is the name in the timescale the poster means. It has had a few names over the years. Owned by Peter Marinello after he stopped his playing career.

I think you’re right Taz.

 

We were in there one New Years Day when the derby at Fester got called off at the last minute due to snow. We had been at a Hearts party in a flat just off Lorne Street so it wasn’t far to walk!

Correct location just not the name I am looking for.

I think you're photo is too early for it being called Meridian, possibly not long long before it changed it's name. Main claim to fame being the bar on Lothian region that had more complaints to the police than any other. If I was in that pat of Leith I normally went into Peter Simon's over the road.

 Bay City, EH - Six, P.J. Lyals, Auld Brig, Copperfields, Marinelo's, the Meridian and The Bridge Bar 

 

So I will go for Bay City

 

Thanks to someones Facebook page

Used to be a strange wee boozer in Blackhall. Just around from that tyre exhaust place. Might have been called the Blackhall bar but not sure.

Also further down the road there was that big boozer near the crossing.

Can't remember it's name but I was an apprentice when it got changed to office space. So that's over 30 years ago:huh2:

The pub down the road at Blackhall was the House O' Hill Roadhouse, also called the Bolt Hole and Henry's.

Woke up in the middle of last night and remembered that name!!  Well done.  Was it those two names after or before the House O'hill?   I am thinking afterwards?

God I feel old, I drank in the HoH now and again back circa 1975 I think when I was a nipper.

I was only ever in it about twice with my dad

Add Spiers Bar to the list. Apparently taken over by Montpelier lot, whoever they are.

Wasn't one I went in no big deal to me but was one of the few "boozers" left in that area.

Mind that's me judging it by clientele rather than actually using the place

Have we really reached page 7 and no mention of The Rainbow?

 

First pint was in the Cottar’s Howff on Rose Street.  It was near the back of Jenner’s if memory serves.
