Seaside jambo Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 16 hours ago, ArcticJambo said: Aye. that's an odd one but then on the other hand, they do get the best of the figgy burn high tide dead seaweed aroma. Was thinking that Westbank is probably the only street in Portobello still with all its original (very shiny) setts (well I assume original as it's a very old street). Can you think of anywhere else, other than Brighton Pl which now has some flat ones for cyclists, half of which are useless as they always hidden by parked cars? I was brought up in one of the flats in the two tenements you can see at the bottom of the street when it was called rosebank terrace The houses belonged to the power station (my dad worked there) they changed the street name because there was another rosebank terrace in Edinburgh also changed tower street to figgete street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate and I, often used to drop in there after a sesh with his grandfather at the Railwayman's Club just down the way, and then onto the Artisan, especially for the derby. I was in the SL a year or so ago on a crawl back to Porty and I must say it was a bit hipster, and expensive but then Ihad worked my way up from Duke Street. Where was the railwaymen''s club you refer to, the only ones I knew of were on royal terrace or in bath st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never in the Royal Terrace one but I guess they moved to Stanley Place, although what year I couldn't tell you. Pretty sure my we were going up to it to meet my mate's grandad around '89, although I don't think it lasted many more yrs before that. Terrible with dates so I might be a yr or three out!

It was the Royal Terrace one. Sold that and moved to a purpose built club early 80s. Like most clubs membership dwindled as the oldies died out. Can you remember ¬ what yr it closed?
