Scope and Content The area to the south of the Fountainbridge thoroughfare saw major redevelopments during the 20th century as the North British Rubber Works first expanded, then moved out of town, and the site was taken over by Fountain Brewery. The beginnings of the area’s late 20th/early 21st century period of renewal saw the Fountainpark Leisure Complex built in 1997-8 on the north side of Fountainbridge on a site formerly used by the brewery to store barrels and various other ancillary buildings and activities, and the area is currently (2016) seeing major development on the large gap site between Fountainbridge and the canal. The leisure complex currently (2016) comprises a cinema, food and drink outlets, tenpin bowling, casino, children's soft play and a health club.
