Note on drawing states: 30th June 1824 the morning on which the back of St John's Coffee house fell, and also the whole of the east gables extending north to the High Street.
Fishmarket Close, now Old Fishmarket Close, is a short street connecting the High Street with the Cowgate. Needless to say it was the site of Edinburgh's fish market.
