Stretch your memory for the Edinburgh Room in Central Library

When you take a photograph, how often do you record exactly where or when it was taken and who appears in the photo?

Not often? Well maybe you should!

The Edinburgh Room in Central Library has a large number of unidentified photographs and we are appealing for your help.

They range from buildings, streets and statues, to shops and home interiors.

Taste of things as they used to be...but where were these shops, the butcher’s (above) and the grocer’s (below)?

Tea for two...but where and what was this elegant room?

A magnificent mansion...but do you recognise it?

Have a look on the Council’s website (www.edinburgh.gov.uk) and search for more mystery photographs.
