Dick Place, c 1890-c 1910
Scope and Contents
A villa in the Grange. The railings shown here have been replaced by a stone wall. Althought the landed proprietor, Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, commissioned the drawing-up of a feuing plan in 1825, the building of the villas did not begin until Grange Road was opened (as far as the cemetery) in 1845. A print from this glass plate negative was included in the "Open Spaces as Gardens and Playgrounds" section of Geddes' replacement "Cities and Town Planning Exibition". See Coll-1167/B/24.

Processing Information
The printed legacy catalogue the "Papers of Sir Professor Patrick Geddes" (1998) lists this item in both the Papers (Vol I) of the catalogue, and the Photographs (Vol II). The listing in the Papers (Vol I) does not refer to a physical item but refers to the use of a print from the negatives in a particular section of the "Cities and Town Planning" exhibition. In this new catalogue (2020), to avoid duplicate listings and to mitigate confusion, these glass plate negatives and the related prints each are only listed once in the "Photographs for the Survey of Edinburgh" series (Coll-1167/B/26 - glass plate negatives; Coll-1167/B/27 photographic prints).
