Tazio Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 28 minutes ago, argyjambo said: Easter Road, just before the junction with Albion Road? That’s what I instinctively thought but it isn’t. The church that looks like that on Easter Road is the episcopal church at Sunnyside so a whole block south of the Albion Road bridge.

Carl Fredrickson Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Maroon Sailor said: My sister lived in Muirhouse in the late 70s/early80s and I dreaded visiting her. We grew up out in the sticks and visiting her with no garden, everywhere was either concrete or grass covered in dog crap and/or broken glass was an eye opener for me. This image is very similar to what I remember of those days. A trip to the local shops was "interesting" and passing the Gunner with some of its customers hanging around outside was frightening (I was still at primary school).
