This was how Millars confectionery factory looked in 1984, from the back of 166 Causewayside. This was where they made their brand of peppermint imperials called Pan Drops.

Millars moved out of town somewhere - so this site probably contains houses now...

From the same viewpoint but with a standard lens. Two employees are standing on the roof. Blackford Hill and the Pentland Hills are in the distance.

Not far from Causewayside is St Patrick Square, next to the Odeon Cinema. This picture is of the east side, part of the main road. Edinburgh Bargain Store occupies this site in 1999, twenty years after I took this photo.

The road surface caught the attention of my wide-angle lens this day. Looking north towards Carnegie Court.

This is in the north west corner of the square, behind Marshall Street. The painted-on advertisements were still legible last time I looked.

It's fairly obvious that 'Wash House' was deemed politically incorrect and subsequently changed to 'Laundry'. It hardly mattered anyway; this was actually a second-hand furniture and junk emporium for a while.

Nowadays there's rented houses built here, if I'm not mistaken. This is in Causewayside near the lane into Blackwood Crescent.
