LOST EDINBURGH (AMBERLEY) (PB)

Lost Edinburgh describes in words and pictures the many well-known buildings that are no longer part of the city's landscape and will appeal not only to the city's residents but also the many visitors who come here to explore its most remarkable streets. Includes; Princes Street, where several landmark buildings from the Georgian and Victorian eras were demolished during the 1960s. St James Square and the removal of original Georgian tenements to make way for the St James Centre, the demolition of the Caledonian Railway Company's Princes Street station terminal in 1965 which left a giant gap-site close to Lothian Road that took thirty years to fill. Elsewhere, it reveals how the former heavily populated residential areas in the Old Town have undergone extensive surgery and Bristo Street and the iconic Parkers department store with its handsome Tudor frontage which were swept away for the expansion of Edinburgh University in the 1960s and '70s.
