Title
Preacher at Wester Hailes Shopping Centre
Description
A preacher stands at the edge of a path leading to the entrance of a shopping centre. He wears a white shirt with a dark tie and holds out a leaflet in his right hand. At a small distance, another man supports a large wooden cross. There are several people standing in the doorway and a dog is lying down in the shaded area close to a large standing stone.

On the left of the picture is a standing stone taken from Hailes Quarry, which was situated to the east of Wester Hailes, and operated from 1750 to 1900.
Wester Hailes Shopping Centre was opened in 1974. This was designed to meet the needs of the local community. In 1978 a Job Centre was opened inside the shopping centre. A £9 million redevelopment of the centre was undertaken in 1994 which included an extensive refurbishment of the existing building, and a new cinema complex, bingo hall and library.
