Part of it is knocked down and an old folk's home(?) built in its place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn’t a flood (puddle) mate it was the top of the vehicle that was in the picture giving an optical illusion 👍🏻 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FORTHCLYDE Posted September 10 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Not a time to ask the wifie if she has time to make you a cup of teas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
