	Niddrie 67 1280 x 854 220K	Apart from the buildings shown here, the whole area has now been flattened mid-September. The clearance has opened up the views which I've tried to exploit here.
	Niddrie 68 1280 x 854 233K	A zoomed-in look at this building and its ornamented windows, painted by a variety of artists.
	Niddrie 69 1280 x 854 240K	The empty space behind the Rex Launderette was once occupied by the local cinema.
	Niddrie 70 1280 x 854 208K	A view across the cleared ground where houses once stood at the west end of Wauchope Crescent.
	Niddrie 71 1280 x 854 357K	More cleared ground further east along Niddrie Mains Road.
	Niddrie 72 1280 x 848 165K	Another wide angle view of the junction of Wauchope Avenue and Wauchope Crescent.
	Niddrie 73 1280 x 854 217K	An updated (and possibly final) look at the Launderette and the adjacent shops.
	Niddrie 74 1280 x 921 171K	The first of two views of the building at the north east corner of the crossroads formed by Wauchope Avenue and Niddrie Mains Drive.
	Niddrie 75 1280 x 854 200K	Getting closer - but the wide angle lens reveals that the place is deserted. There's not a living soul in the neighbourhood.
	Niddrie 76 1231 x 1024 249K	Nature doesn't take long to reclaim tarmac. Grass and weeds are growing from cracks in the pavement. The first close-up look at the artwork in this sequence.
	Niddrie 77 1280 x 841 330K	The changing face of number 21 Niddrie Mains Drive.
	Niddrie 78 1280 x 854 303K	In view of these buildings' continued existence, as well as the new signs here, it seems possible that the roosting pigeons might be chased out and shops re-opened.
	Niddrie 79 1280 x 854 286K	An overall view of number 21 and its two shops and fourteen decorated windows.
	Niddrie 80 702 x 1024 169K	The only vertical shot on this page. The SINGH sign and the other one are both are comparatively new. When new houses are built nearby (quite soon) then maybe the new occupants will buy groceries and alcohol here. I don't know - but to my eye the pictue above the Open Soon sign looks like a self-portrait by the artist.
	Niddrie 81 1280 x 854 235K	Looking up through a wide angle lens.
	Niddrie 82 1280 x 899 334K	A square-on view from the other side of Niddrie Mains Drive.
	Niddrie 83 1280 x 870 195K	Diagonal view from the edge of the footpath.
	Niddrie 84 1280 x 844 437K	Six windows and eight works of art.
	Niddrie 85 1280 x 854 344K	Unlike the licensed grocer, it's unclear whether a fish and chip shop will trade here again.
	Niddrie 86 1280 x 854 314K	Again, six windows and eight works of art. (Different ones)
	Niddrie 87 1280 x 854 216K	At the east end of the building. The ground next to it has been tidied up since my previous photos. The word TOLERANCE was previously stencilled but now it's been painted by hand.
	Niddrie 88 1280 x 854 308K	A closer look. The new artwork implies moneygrabbing by unknown person(s).
	Niddrie 89 1280 x 854 214K	From further back we can see the recognisable shape of Arthur's Seat as well the Queen's Drive following a contour line half way up.
	Niddrie 90 1280 x 854 159K	In this view trees at Duddingston Golf Course can be seen at the north side of the suburban railway line. Arthur's Seat is mostly hidden.
	Niddrie 91 1280 x 892 178K	This fence is at the east side of Wauchope Terrace. New buildings are being erected behind it.
