Tramlines are visible along the thoroughfare. Below the tenement buildings are shops with canopies over their windows. Some of the houses have low garden walls topped with railings.

Gilmore Place meets Home Street in the Tollcross area of Edinburgh.
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.
