Description
Portobello and District Through Time by Archie Foley and Margaret Munro explores the history of communities to the east of Edinburgh, which have been affected by its expansion over the years. In 1896, Portobello merged with Edinburgh, becoming Scotland's premier seaside resort while maintaining a strong local economy based on pottery, brick, and glass manufacturing. The book chronicles the early changes that took place in the area, including suburban sprawl from the 1930s, as well as those caused by industrial collapse and urban development from the second half of the twentieth century. While some of these changes have had a lasting impact on the landscape, there are also many positive images of regeneration featured in the book. Through its photographs and historical accounts, Portobello and District Through Time provides a unique insight into the evolution of this region over time.
