In Pictures: Cable Tramway artefacts discovered in Edinburgh

3.cable-jh

These three photos show some of the ironmongery at the point where the cables on Leith Walk turned through 90 degrees and into the power station at the rear of Shrubhill Tram Depot. There was a long tunnel (around 2 metres high) from this point into the power house from where the cables were powered. (All Photographs by John Hampton)
