The tenements at Greenside were built between c.1804 and 1817, they were demolished in the early 1960's as part of Edinburgh's slum clearances.
Lawrence Pae, member of the Skiffle Group, recalls that this photograph would have been taken at 'The Dump', an old aged pensioner's hall at the bottom of Greenside Row. It had a stage that Greenside Church did not.
