Sharpie Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 19 minutes ago, Radio Ga Ga said: 1981 One day on patrol in South Clerk Street when a horse and cart like that one just outside the then Newington Cafe decided it would practise fast starts and took off on the wrong side of the road towards the Preston Street intersection. Cowboy Constable Sharp, had to chase the horse, the only thing he was really afraid of, grab the dangling reins and hold on until it stopped. It was such a short chase, and I suspect such an old horse no fuss was made of it. Fortunately it was a short distance to my parents home where I was able to go and check if my underwear had to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking along the A71 towards Saughton prison ? 👍 The 'McCabe' bus stop would later appear somewhere near the mound of earth top left. Another later the same year.

It is (was) a nice wee café last time I was up that way. No that was a branch of TSB. BofS was on the corner of Marchmont Road & Thirlestane Lane.
