Statement of Interest

Related to the design of 7-33 Bread Street. On Kincaid's 1784 map Lothian Road is marked as 'New Road' and flanked by fields. A plan similar to what was built for this area, with a square to be known as Orchardfield Square where the Usher Hall is, marked 'This square is not built but is intended,' is on Ainslie's 1804 map. Wood's 1820 plan shows the area more or less as eventually built. The Merchant Company adopted William Burn's plan for the Grindlay's Orchardfield estate in 1820. The 1877 OS map shows this block (Lothian Road, Grindlay Street, Bread Street) complete.
