Street Party
"Here are two photos
of a street party. They were taken 'up the pend' at Tynecastle Place,
Gorgie.
I'm not sure who took
these two photos. They were in my mum's box and only uncovered when
she died.
The street party may have
been held for the return to school after the holidays, or maybe it
was to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953."

The Photos
I
would expect the photos above
to have been taken in 1953, on the
occasion of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth.
Over the
past few years, I've been sent several other photos of 1950s street
parties in Edinburgh. Every one of them was taken at a
street party to celebrate the Coronation.

Street Party
"The EdinPhoto web
site has brought back many memories. I found these photos of the
street party (in Recollections 41 above)
to be
especially good, mainly because I'm in them.
They were taken in June
1962, the party for the Queen's Jubilee."
Presumably the party celebrated the
first 10 years of the Queen's reign - Peter Stubbs
