Ah yes, the Renault 4 van with the gear stick within the dashboard.

They were knocking down the tenements in the Burlington Street, Breadalbane Street, Bangor Road area of Leith at this time and the circus set up there if so remember correctly. Opposite to Leith Hospital down towards the Water of Leith. Does that sound about right?

It is indeed a great gastro pub with an interesting history. Known as ‘The Jungle’ to Leithers in the 1960’s and 70’s, so it has definitely changed its mood, cuisine and clientele since then. #Leith #edinburghwalks

It was indeed Box 10-D and sat above the public toilets (male) on Albert Street. However, the date of removal is wildly wrong - too early maybe by 20 years+.

Thanks for checking.

I always thought the statue was in the wrong place and that Balfour and Breck had parted company at the Rest-And-Be-Thankful on Corstorphine Hill above the (now) golf course. Is it confirmed it should be at the Western Terrace junction?

Sorry to have to burst that bubble…

Watch the original video of Letter from America by The Proclaimers and see the Commercial Street bondside, Leith Dock Estate and the exit gates into Dock Place all pre redevelopment. #Leith

Built as John Russell Court and Thomas Fraser Court, renamed after refurbishment.

A back street in Da Bronx surely?
