Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology undertook a desk-based assessment of 4-6 Grassmarket, part of the Category B listed building 4-10 Grassmarket. The assessment was commissioned as part of a project to renovate and expand the church space into a bar/restaurant. It is located in the western end of the Grassmarket and abuts part of the Flodden Wall. The current building was constructed in 1884 as a part of the Robertson Memorial Mission Buildings comprising a church with seating for 220 people and a shop/tenement. Prior to the 17th century the proposed development site consisted of burgage backland area before the expansion of Edinburgh led to the construction of commercial and domestic buildings. The church was in use by the Mission well into the 20th century however it encountered financial difficulties and eventually became an antiques store. In the 1990's it became a sport's bar and later a whiskey bar. Until 2010 it was in use as a restaurant/cafe and events space. |
