Yes.

 

I think the canopy on the left is where the Leith Street entrance to Roomzzz is now.

Best thread on the forum. Should be documented and put in the museum.

East end of Princes Street, late 1800's.

You can see why some people hated the N.B. when it was built.  It dominates that end of Princes Street.  It’s part of the fabric of the city now but when new it would have seemed enormous and out-of-scale.

From Lost Edinburgh

A very rare image of the south side of the Grassmarket dating to before 1859. The roofs of the upper right hand quarter is the row of houses up to Heriot Bridge which was the original entrance into Heriots Hospital School. The buildings facing are very ramshackle and don't look long for this earth. It's a wonderful image from the photo album of Dr Thomas Keith.

 

May be an image of Rijksmuseum and text

I wonder what happened to the buildings that became the North British Hotel? Fire or some sort of damage or were the just knocked down for the building of the NB?
