Scope and Content Sketch of the proposed design for Southern Motors Filling Station, Causewayside, Edinburgh Causewayside, a narrow street on the south side of Edinburgh at Newington, runs from Buccleuch Street as one of two routes to Liberton, and is one of the main exits from the city to Peebles and the Scottish Borders. This design, by Sir Basil Spence, for a filling station in a 'gap' site between two late Georgian tenements, has a row of petrol pumps in front of the ground-floor semicircular reception area, and a large glass-fronted showroom on the upper floor. Sir Basil Spence (1907-76) made his career with his design for the rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral in 1950. He designed many buildings in Edinburgh in the 1960s, including several university buildings in George Square, and Mortonhall Crematorium. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
