Old Photograph Warrenden Park Road Edinburgh Scotland
Old photograph of shops, houses, and people on Warrenden Park Road in Edinburgh, Scotland. The whole area was developed as a planned middle class tenements suburb by Sir George Warrender, the owner of Bruntsfield House and the surrounding estate, also known as the " Warrender Park, " in the mid 19th century. The original feuing plan laid out by architect David Bryce in 1869 called for mainly terraced villas, with a number of large, detached villas on Marchmont Road. However, this was superseded by a later plan that proposed all buildings were four or five storey tenements. The name Marchmont was originally only used to refer to Marchmont Crescent, Road and Street, but is now used for the whole area. The Warrender name has been retained in the streets Warrender Park Crescent, Road, and Terrace, and also in the Warrender Swim Centre, traditionally known as Warrender Baths. History Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
