Title
Leven Street - east side, demolition of old buildings on site of the King's Theatre
Description
As labourers put up hoardings around some soon to be demolished shops and houses a woman pushes a pram along the pavement. Advertisements and signs can still be seen on the walls of the buildings. A horse and cart travels in front of the buildings on a cobblestone road and to the side under a lamp-post stand two men.
This is a photograph by a member of the Edinburgh Photographic Society.

Tollcross is an area in the south-west of central Edinburgh. It centres around the crossroads of Brougham Street, Home Street, Earl Grey
Street and Lauriston Place and West Tollcross.
The word cobble has been used here to help with searching, an alternative term is sett. Sett stones describe both the type of stone and the method in which they are used.
