What year is this? Surely that’s no some of the fire crew arriving by horse and cart?!?

It's Lauriston Place, so I'm presuming it's something to do with the fire station, maybe it closing and moving to Tollcross or something like that.

Is it not Morrison Street when the Conference Centre was being built? The St Mary's Cathedral in the background being a clue.

Later to become , Bianco's then Flares then Hudson hotel and now Angels Share . 

 

First time I went in when it was Bianco's ,it was the first time I'd had a pint served up in a "vase shaped " glass it seemed very strange , stairs back up from the toilets were like the north face of the Eiger.
