Mansion in Pittville Street
This mansion in the late-Georgian style was built around 1835 as part of a major development begun after 1810 on the Marquis of Abercorn's land at Joppa. Many of the original villas, built on a formal street-plan to the north of the main road to Musselburgh, survive in what is now a prime conservation area. The street was originally called Pitt Street after the prime minister, William Pitt the Younger.

Coade Stone Pillars
These pillars were rescued from a garden in the area and set up here in a community garden in 2006. They are made from Coade stone, an artificial stone invented and manufactured by Mrs Eleanor Coade (1773-1821). This is smooth grained and impervious to atmospheric pollution retaining its fresh appearance.
The design on the smaller pillars is identical to those on the chimneys of Dalmeny House, South Queensferry, seat of the Earl of Rosebery.
