Title
Albany Street, with a church tower at far end
Description
A view of a residential street in Edinburgh and at the end a church with a tall pointed tower. The houses have three stories and large bay windows at roof level. The stonework on many of the properties is covered in foliage. The doorways are approached via railed short flights of steps from the pavement, suggesting a sunken level below ground. A sign above an entrance half way down the street reads "Albany House".
