Shrubhill

Heavy Workshop

and the passage to the cables for the old cable trams

Thank you to John Dickson, who was one of the workers who used to paint LRT buses at Shrubhill Workshops for allowing me to reproduce some of his photos taken there in 1982.

1982

Heavy Shop

"The first photo below was taken in what we called the Heavy Shop at Shrubhill, because the 'gritters' and other heavy vehicles were repaired there.

In the north east corner  of the Heavy Shop, there was a trap door which led down to were the tram cables travelled underground up to Leith Walk. 

I took the five photos below there, before the paintshop moved to Seafield."
