Location

PROSPECT PLACE is the street running down the hill on the left-hand side of this picture.  It leads past St Margaret's Church to join Dumbiedykes Road close to the bowling green.

PROSPECT TERRACE is the street running to the left, just beyond the black car.  This is a short street with tenements on one side of the street and St Margaret's Church on the other side.  This view looks back along Prospect Terrace towards the steep-sloping Prospect Place.

Jeanette is not the only person to remember Miss Riley.

Roberta Luciani, also living in Canada, wrote:

The large photograph above was one of several dozen taken in 1959 by Adam H Malcolm in the Dumbiedykes area of Edinburgh.  These photographs were taken shortly before the houses were demolished.  Adam H Malcolm donated these photographs to the Edinburgh City Libraries in the 1960s and they can now be found in the Library's Edinburgh Room Collection.
