NT 231 725 This work was undertaken on 4-5 October 2007. The proposed development area is on the site of a current City of Edinburgh Council depot. The assessment and walkover were requested as the town plan of 1893/94 and Ordnance Survey map of 1896 both show a number of buildings across the site. These buildings are not shown on the OS map of 1908, when the City Road Stone Depot occupied the site. The project aimed to locate any traces of these buildings during the walkover survey as well as determining the form and function of
the current buildings prior to their demolition. A photographic survey was also undertaken in order to create a record of the site. The survey did not discover any trace of the 1890s buildings and only two of the existing buildings were found to date form the 1900s. The remainder of the buildings dated from the 1960s to the 1980s. The walkover survey was carried out on 4 October 2007 in sunny weather conditions.
