Foot of Leith Walk

Looking up the Walk

May 1955

A crowd gathers at the foot of Leith Walk in May 1955. Who is in the crowd? Who was the speaker? There is an interesting mix of traffic in the background.

Foot of Leith Walk

Questions

1.  Do you recognise anybody in the crowd? 

2.  Do you know who the speaker was and what his subject was?  Might it have been political?

3.  Do you have any comments about the traffic in the background?

I look forward to seeing if anybody responds to any of these questions.  Please email me if you have any comments or answers.  Thank you.
