Abstract: |
An historic building survey was undertaken by Headland Archaeology at 32-38 Millhill, Musselburgh prior to the redevelopment of the site. The most recent use of the buildings was as a swimming pool for the Loretto School. Historic mapping revealed the buildings had originally been the site of a tannery which may have been in use from the late 18th century. The tannery had undergone a number of alterations over the following century prior to its closure at the end of the 19th century. The building was subsequently turned into swimming baths for the school in 1919. The survey revealed five separate buildings/areas relating to different phases of construction. The majority of the external walls of the buildings within the survey had been covered in a painted render so the focus of the work was on the only exposed rubble stone wall facing onto Millhill. This wall displayed a number of alterations with several blocked openings noted. The building itself was thought to represent the remains of the original 18th century tannery. |
