Title
New Picture House, Princes Street 1955
Description
The grand entrance to the former New Picture House on Princes Street in Edinburgh is incongruously sited in the middle of shop frontages and bay windows. There are canopies over some of the shops and the Royal Hotel occupies the block above ground level. People browsing in shop windows and waiting at the bus stop are clearly seen, whilst others have become a blur of movement on the street.
