Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd during ground breaking operations associated with the excavation of a car wash bay at 65 Salamander Street, Leith. The site was developed during the early/mid 19th century for industry. Kirkwood's plan of 1817 shows the western boundary of the site overlaying the site of Mr Geddes's Crystal (glass) Works, the last in a chain of national glass works stretching along Salamander Street which had started in the 18th century. By the 1st Edition OS map of 1849 the site had become fully developed with a Bone Mill but principally a large Chemical Works which remained in operation into the 20th century. The trench measured 1.7m x 1.3m, and 1.9m deep. The deposits within the trench consisted of 0.1m of concrete overlying 0.45m of rubble and sandstone stones. Underlying this was 1.35m of furnace ash and gravel. The natural subsoil was not exposed at any time. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were discovered.
