Sharpie Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 8 hours ago, Jambo-Jimbo said: Niddrie Mains Road (aka Beirut). Its the first time I have looked at that building without having to deal with a drunk fighting struggling man on a Friday or Saturday night. Lots of memories, like the night we drove past and there was a male on the roof chugging from a bottle. Turns out he and his brothers had B&E'd the place and he was the lookout. Saw the daughter of the same family get into a fight with a man at the St Cuthberts across the road, both drunk and she grabbed the man lifted him off his feet and threw him through the store window. Funny I worked around there for the better part of twelve years and cannot remember ever once being in that pub for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder why they demolished the station house, as it would make a cracking house in a nice location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange because when I posted that picture I instantly knew where it was but don't remember that Station being there.

Sure they could have found a use for it, like they have with that small garage over the road. The original boat house has been replaced by a shed by the looks of that.
