Waverley Bridge Tunnel under construction and Old Town View along Waverly Bridge in 1858, with construction works to create a new tunnel for the railway immediately ahead. In the background, the Old Town of Edinburgh, with the steeple of St Giles Cathedral on the skyline, behind the smoking chimney on the right. The destruction of buildings in the middle-distance is to make way for the creation of Cockburn Street. |
