Scope and Content 'Balcony', No 74 Henderson Row, Stockbridge, Edinburgh Henderson Row, a street of mainly 19th-century tenements, was built along the old road from Stockbridge to Canonmills in an area that once formed part of the village of Silvermills, where silver ore from Torphichen, West Lothian, was refined. This elegant cast iron railing extends along the length of the ground floor of the tenement, forming a long 'balcony'. It is supported by a ledge formed by a basement level that projects slightly from the rest of the building. Most of the imaginative ironwork on the facades of terraces and tenements in the early 19th century in Georgian Edinburgh was cast in foundries, and railings and balconies could be bought 'off the peg' in an enormous range of patterns and designs.
