Desk Based Assessment (20 March 2013)
A ‘coal work’ is depicted to the west of the Pinkie Burn on James Hay’s New Plan of Musselburgh and its Environs, 1824, (RHP1855). It was connected to Fisherrow, possibly the salt works (NT37SW 1238), by a ‘Rail Road’ built by Sir John Hope in 1814 (Robertson 1983, ISBN 0 85976 088 X). The coal works are not shown on the 1853 Ordnance Survey town plan of Musselburgh (Sheet 12).
