Biographical / Historical
In 1955, an agreement was made between the Corporation of the City of Edinburgh's water supply department and ABRO for the lease of two areas of ground at the Old Talla Railway Track, Stanhope. In 1987, the Corporation's successors, Lothian Regional Council, sold the land, with ABRO retaining right of way.
