NT 2599 7368 A Level 1–2 standing building survey and watching brief were carried out February 2009 at North Grey’s, Bishops and Carrubbers Closes as part of redevelopment above the Mitre and Royal Mile public houses. An early 19th-century tenement building occupied the site until its removal during the 1970s. The survey recorded a number of features mainly relating to blocked doors and windows. The derelict remains of Bishop Sydserff’s House (1589) borders the northern boundary of the site.
