FORTHCLYDE Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I had wondered what happened to the former church at 17-21 Blackfriars Street as I moved out of Edinburgh 7 years ago. I see it has been converted into flats. Does anyone have pictures inside when Richard Demarco owned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pulleys at the window for the washing, caused a few temper tantrumns when a seagull or a pigeon laid a large sample of its digested food on the wash.
