Statement of Interest

Formerly Stuart Street. According to the owner of No 2 Abercorn Gardens, this building and Nos 2 and 3 Abercorn Gardens were part of a failed Second New Town development. Because of the small scale of the early nineteenth century maps, it is difficult to be certain about the date of these buildings. They seem to appear on Greenwood, Fowler and Sharp's 1828 map, but not on James Knox's 1821 map. Buildings do appear in this area on Kirkwood's 1817 map, but they do not seem to be the same ones.
