Title
View of the old wooden bridge at Leamington Road. The view shows the bridge keepers house
Description
Several children stand on and beside the low wooden bridge crossing the canal at Leamington Road in Edinburgh. A row of tall tenement blocks and a church tower stand in the distance. Close to the bridge and along the canal towpath are low-rise buildings. The house closest to the bridge probably belongs to the Bridgekeeper. The water is very still and reflects the fencing and street light at the edge of the canal.
