August 2009. New housing did go up but not here yet. The concrete pillars are those in Niddrie 39 above. The new houses are called Craigmillar Parc. A resident pointed out to me that Parc is Crap backwards.

The northwest corner of the once busy crossroads. Hazy morning sunshine glints on a fire hydrant cover. This area is currently very popular with learner drivers.

Wauchope Terrace is fenced off on the east side as new building work goes ahead. The 'Tolerance' building is in the middle distance behind a pile of rubble. Arthur's Seat can be seen in the distance.
