Pleasance Fork, c 1890-c 1910

This site is a triangular open space opposite the present (1988) Deaconess Hospital which would be on the right beyond the edge of the picture. See print Coll-1167/B/26/20/6. This view is looking north. The hospital was re-used as Lothian Health Board Headquarters in March 1991. The triangular open space in this photograph is occupied by the rather elaborate public house. The sign over the door reads "G Kirk". The subsequent open space is apparently now to be built over again (1997). Handwritten title Alasdair Geddes.
