Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Newhaven Main Street The main route through Newhaven towards Granton until the early 70s, this street is now a quiet dead-end. Sunlight and silhouettes is the theme of the picture.

Being picked out by the sunlight is the line of the old tram tracks, removed soon after the closure of the tramway system in 1956. To minimise disruption to traffic, the centre of the road was rebuilt and re-cobbled once the lines were removed. Frederick Street, Howe Street and Circus Place in the city centre were also treated in the same way.

The term 'cobbles' is perhaps inaccurate here; in Edinburgh, they were (and still are) called 'causey stones'.
