Photo 1 The tram shed can be seen in the background on the left of this photo. It was a long, narrow shed, running from NW to SE. parallel with and to the east of Westfield Road, as can be seen near the top-left corner of this extract from a 1940 map. |

Photo 2 Here is another photo of the the main building in photo one, now 'The BMC Club'. In this photo is is still under construction. This photo looks to the NE towards the building. The entrance to the tram depot can be seen towards the lower-left corner of this photo. In the background, beyond the railway line on the embankment in this photo, is North British Distillery with its two chimneys. Also nearby, but behind the photographer, are Cox's Glue Works, Gorgie Mills. The distillery and the mills, as well as the tram depot are also shown on this map. |
