Off Crosscauseway, c 1985

Off Crosscauseway. The location has so far proved impossible to trace. Possibilities are, off East Crosscauseway, Lamb's Close, Kennedy's Close, Murray Street, Dalrymple Place, all demolished in the Edinburgh Improvement Scheme, c. 1930. The Causewayside closes were also suggested, particularly "Jew's Close" near Sciennes Hill House Place, Braid Place, with the old Jewish cemetery dating from 1820, but for various reasons this suggestion is untenable. After much difficulty, the writing on the notice has possibly been deciphered as showing "Bristo Nth? Church Mission Hall", but so far it has not been possible to trace this address. Handwritten title on the original envelope containing the corresponding glass plate negatives was written by R. Dykes.
