Scope and Content This shows the rear of the mid-19th-century, three-storeyed tenement at 154-166 Canongate and the central arched pend leading from the Canongate into Sugarhouse Close. The rear elevation of the tenement is plain but retains original 12-paned timber sash and case windows. Sugarhouse Close retains its cobbled surface and was originally the location of a sugar refining business from 1752 to 1824. The site was redeveloped in the mid-19th century when the Holyrood Brewery was established here in 1868. The brewery stopped trading in the mid-120th century and some of the disused buildings from the brewery have recently (2012) been incorporated into a new development of student accommodation on the site.
