Wardie Farm |

1948-50 Thank you to John Sinclair for allowing me to reproduce this photograph of Wardie Farm, taken by his father. John believes that the photo was probably taken around 1948-50. The farm buildings were all demolished a few years after this photo was taken, but the houses in the background on the north side of Rosebank Road are still standing. |

Another Photo Here is another photograph of Wardie Farm, also taken by John's father. This one was taken from a little further to the east along Rosebank Road, looking back towards Granton Road and towards the SE corner of Wardie Farm: |

Today Around 1955, Wardie Farm was sold to Fred Ford who had a building firm at Corstorphine. He demolished the old farm buildings and built a street, Rosebank Gardens, and a few bungalows on the land. |
|
Around the same time, Fred Ford also bought the old Wardie House and its grounds. He demolished most of the old house and built a street, Wardie House Lane, and six bungalows, similar to those in Rosebank Gardens, on the land. |
