Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Entrance to former Leith Citadel station The station was built in 1846 and has a Grade B listing. Until 1868, it was the Leith terminus of a line from Canal Street Station in Princes Street via the Scotland Street Tunnel. Later it became part of the North British Railway Co. line that ran for three miles from Waverley Station via Abbeyhill, Easter Road, Leith Walk, Powderhall (up to 1917), Bonnington and Junction Road. It closed to passenger traffic in 1947, continuing as a goods line until the 1970s. The building is now a youth centre. The name derives from its proximity to a fort of that name built during the rule of the Commonwealth in the 1650s. |
