East Crosscauseway back of Nicolson Street, c 1985

The original envelope containing the corresponding glass plate negative had been titled "Causewayside" but the image is actually of"Crosscauseway". See Coll-1167/B/27/19/5 and note the configuration of the roof-scape of the tenement in the background almost certainly proves that it is a building still standing (1990) on the east side of St. Patrick and Clerk Street. The building on the left must, therefore, be the other side of that shown in Coll-1167/B/27/19/5. The photograph must therefore have been taken in Cowan's Close from a point slightly north of the photographer's position in taking print Coll-1167/B/27/19/5. Note recent changes in Coll-1167/B/27/19/5 noted in the catalogue, late 1990s. Handwritten title on the original envelope containing the corresponding glass plate negatives was written by R. Dykes.
