Both Stockbridge and Canonmills lie on the Water of Leith. - Stockbridge Swimming Baths lie on the south side of Glenogle Road. - The Colonies houses lie on the north side of Glenogle Road. Some of the colonies housing can be seen in the background of this photo. |

2011 Photo The buildings in the 2011 photo look very similar to the view of them about a hundred years earlier. - A dormer window has been added - The shops have closed. - The old gas lamp post has been replaced by electric lighting. - The trees have grown. - The bikes have gone and a wheelie bin has arrived. - The cobbled street surface has been replaced by tarmac. |
