Aerial Arrow and Morris Minor

1960s

Thank you to David Bain for allowing me to reproduce this photo, taken probably at Lasswade Road, South Edinburgh in the 1960s, the era of the rockers.

Cafés

Commenting on the Edinburgh Café, on the east corner of North St Andrew Street and Queen Street, Edinburgh, in the 1960s, Dave wrote:

"I remember throwing my Ariel Arrow motorbike up St Andrew Street showing off in the rain;  it was more slippery than I thought!

The occupant of the top flat, over the Café, was forever calling the police because of the noise  the various bikes made."
