As I have to travel out of the country, my posts this month will be about scanning my library of Scottish photos to share with you.
Every time I pass this arch I stop to look and wonder what it would have been like to have a market in this spot. The inscription reads:
Stockbridge Market
Butcher Meats, Fruit, Fish and Poultry
I would imagine it would have been really busy and an odour to reflect its goods.. The old arch is located at St Stephen Place in Stockbridge Edinburgh. The market has long gone. It was active from 1825 to 1906.
The arch is a lovely reminder of the past
