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...
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.
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.
