Old photograph of a Tram outside the Town Hall in Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland. As an independent burgh, Portobello had aspirations for a town hall, the Town Council having first met in rooms in Brighton Place and then in Rosefield House. The first purpose built hall, now the Baptist Church in the High Street, was designed by David Bryce and erected in 1862. This proved inadequate for the purpose and was replaced in 1877 by the building, designed by Robert Paterson, which is now the Police Station. Portobello is a beach resort located three miles to the east of the city centre of Edinburgh, along the coast of the Firth of Forth.
