Scope and Content Restalrig Factory, Restalrig Drive, Edinburgh This large factory was built in 1910 to designs by JR and EE Pearson forMunro and Co Ltd, hosiery and 'homespun' manufacturers, who in the 1930s made ladies' and gents' sporting hose, coats and waistcoats. This view shows part of the three-storey range which formed one of the street frontages of the factory. Like the other frontage building, with which it forms an L, it is faced with terra-cotta brick. The water tower was necessary because the factory was on top of a hill, a landmark in that part of Edinburgh. By the 1990s it had closed, and had been converted into flats.
