NT 2753 7642 An evaluation was carried out, July – August 2016, in advance of potential development on a site between Salamander Street and Baltic Street. The evaluation trenches provided evidence for multiple phases of structures associated with the 18th-century Edinburgh and Leith Glassworks and the 19th-century Edinburgh and Leith Gasworks, including foundation walls and associated interior structures and surfaces. The work demonstrated that the level of preservation across the site is generally very good, with the only truncation identified from concrete footings of mid-20th century sheds.
