Old Photograph George Street Edinburgh Scotland
Old photograph of a car and Tram on George Street, Edinburgh, Scotland. George Street was named after the Hanoverian King George III; it was intended to be the grandest street, and widest, at 115 feet, in the New Town linking two identical squares: St Andrew, patron saint of Scotland, in the east, with St George, patron saint of England, in the west, although this was renamed Charlotte Square. The visit of King George IV in 1822 prompted a commemorative statue, which can be seen at the junction with Hanover Street.
