Like many towns and cities in the UK, Edinburgh has changed over
the years and continues to do so. Parts of Scotland's capital have
been transformed, especially on Princes Street, where several
landmark buildings from the Georgian and Victorian eras were
demolished during the 1960s. At St James Square the removal of
original Georgian tenements to make way for the St James Centre
altered the appearance of the district forever, and it's all set to
change again with the demolition of the shopping centre in full
swing. The demolition of the Caledonian Railway Company's Princes
Street station terminal in 1965 left a giant gap-site close to
Lothian Road which would take thirty years to fill. Elsewhere, the
former heavily populated residential areas in the Old Town have
undergone extensive surgery and Bristo Street and the iconic
Parkers department store with its handsome Tudor frontage were
swept away for the expansion of Edinburgh University in the 1960s
and '70s. Lost Edinburgh describes in words and pictures the many
well-known buildings that are no longer part of the city's
landscape and will appeal not only to the city's residents but also
the many visitors who come here every year to explore its most
remarkable streets.
