Scope and Content Star Hotel, No 36 Princes Street, Edinburgh, from Waverley Bridge 19th century view Princes Street was originally the south-facing terrace of James Craig's New Town. From the 1830s, Victorian reconstruction transformed the street into Edinburgh's principal thoroughfare of hotels, department stores, shops, offices and clubs. The Star Hotel, designed by Thomas Brown in 1851, stood in a good position at the east end of Princes Street, with access to the coaching routes to the south, and to the new Waverley Station, opened on the south of the street in 1846. In the early 19th century, public transport was by horse-drawn vehicle service. Coaches left Edinburgh daily, including the Edinburgh-London Royal Mail, which set out from St Andrew Street each afternoon, and took three days to reach London. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
