Abstract: |
Watching briefs were carried out during groundworks associated with redevelopment at the site of the former Shrub Hill Transport Depot in Edinburgh. The watching briefs were associated part removal of a tunnel associated with a late 19th century steam power plant for a cable driven tram system. The tunnel ran from the engine room at the back of the site across to the former tram line along Leith Walk. Features within the tunnel recorded during the fieldwork indicate that it had been roofed and further modified after it went out of use as a cable shaft in 1922. |
