Statement of Interest

B group with Nos 1-6, 8-20 and 24-30 Wardie Square and Nos 110-112, 113-118 and 119-144 Lower Granton Road. Contemporary with the construction of Granton Harbour (1836-63) whose workers it was presumably intended to accommodate. Pavement in front of cottages is of small, very closely-spaced cobbles and probably original.
