Scope and Content Clothes-poles, The Colonies, Glenogle Road, Stockbridge, Edinburgh The Colonies, a small development of eleven parallel terraces, was planned in 1861 beside the Water of Leith on the north side of Glenogle Road by the Edinburgh Co-operative Building Company in an attempt to provide artisan housing at a modest cost. The small gardens on either side of the terraces have the original iron clothes-poles, each topped with a decorative finial, and creating a practical and rather attractive arrangement. The Colonies, a nickname which has prevailed over the original intended name 'Glenogle Park', was the inspiration of Hugh Miller, the Reverend James Begg, and Hugh Gilzean Reid who were keen to improve working-class housing conditions.
