Locksmith's shop, Bread Street
The day of the Drysalter and the Ironmonger have long gone, but it seems that the Locksmith's services are as much in demand to day as ever. This is the oldest Locksmith's shop in Edinburgh, established in 1851. It has had several owners in its time, but has retained the original name.

The junction here is known as Main Point where the road from the city split in three directions: to the north (Stirling) on the right; to the west (Glasgow) on the left; and to the south-west (Carlisle) via High Riggs, another street just off-frame to the left.

The green copper dome of the Usher Hall and the wedding-cake-white of the Lyceum Theatre with its redbrick fly tower are clearly visible, with the spire of St. Cuthbert's at the West End behind them.

Grindlay Court Drill Hall gable
At the time of WW1 the home of 1 Lowland Brigade Royal Field Artillery (HQ, 1 & 2 Batteries and Ammunition Column) in a court behind 30 Grindlay Street. The gable on the left is part of the hall, and possible the nearer building too. http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/WW1-Great-War-Centenary---Drill-Halls/18#lothians. Since 1991 the building has been used by the Royal Lyceum Theatre Company, with the hall being used for rehearsals, and accessed at 30 Grindlay Street. Before the Lyceum it was used by Heriot-Watt University Students Union. A view looking out of the Court to Grindlay Street.

Bread Street Lane
Pends like the one above can be found all over central Edinburgh and are a reminder of the days of horse-drawn transport. Even this small alleyway cannot escape traffic signage and the ubiquitous yellow lines of modern parking restrictions.
