Statement of Interest

Following the completion of the South Bridge in 1788, which linked the northern New Town and the Southside of Edinburgh, tenemental development in the Southside expanded considerably.

The tenement first appears on the 1832 Great Reform Act Map (adjacent to St Leonard's Coal Depot).
