redjambo Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 From the web, relating to the colour photo in question: Gorgie Road and McLeod Street, 1980 The tenement on the corner of McLeod Street is long gone. When this was taken it was in a withered state and soon to be demolished. " I was born here at 4 McLeod St, Edinburgh (red building,corner window 2nd from top). Now it is the site of the new Tynecastle secondary school. Just to the left of the green/blue shop above was the entrance to our stair. The reason why they were demolished was due to subsidence. It started with the block next to us in McLeod St (No 6) and when that was taken down some time in the 1960s it then slowly extended to our block. My parents moved house in 1983, the year I got married, so I expect the building was demolished shortly thereafter. The photo was definitely taken in 1980. The other interesting feature of the building was that it had a flat roof, accessible by a steep wooden staircase from the top floor. It was used by the women to hang out their washing and occasionally by us for a bit of sunbathing!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you know him but Big Bernie (Had the dog Rover that he took to games) stayed in my stair and used to keep ferrets on the very same flat roof he's on about.
