Laying tram lines, Leith Walk
Description
Labourers work at laying tramlines in the cobblestone road down Leith Walk, Edinburgh. Many of the men's tools can be seen, these include wheelbarrows, pickaxes and shovels. Some of the workers are sitting amongst piles of loose stones which have yet to be replaced around the tramlines. In the background are tenement buildings, a hotel, and some shops, above one there is a clock tower.
