Where?
"This
is actually in Fisherrow and the tram is turning from North High Street into
Bridge Street.

The small round building in the middle of the road
was the office for the Hayweights and the weighing platform was alongside
it, being used for weighing carts and lorries. It
was demolished when the Brunton Hall was built, but I believe that the
dome and clock still exist."
The
Mercat Cross is in Musselburgh High Street - in the wide part
of the street in front of the Town Hall. The tram
will not arrive in Musselburgh High Street until it has crossed the River
Esk at the other end of Bridge Street.
When?
"The first electric car of
the Musselburgh and District Electric Light and Traction Company was
introduced on December 12th, 1904 and the one shown looks similar so it
could well be 1905, certainly not 1894."
