BY CUMBERLAND HILL, CHAPLAIN TO THE COMBINATION WORKHOUSE OF ST CUTHBERT's AND CANONGATE, EDINBURGH. ILLUSTRATED WITH SIX FULL-PAGE DRAWINGS. SECOND EDITION, ENLARGED. EDINBURGH: ROBERT SOMERVILLE, 10 SPRING GARDENS. RICHARD CAMERON, i ST DAVID STREET. 1887. <?W(fi1 5 ' •*- ' i i IC Lin TY university ui uullph PKEFACE TO THE FIEST EDITION. The substance of the following pages was delivered first as a lecture at the opening of the Working Men's Institute, Stockbridge, in March 1866. It was after- wards re-delivered, with additional notes, as two lectures, in Dean Street United Presbyterian Church, on the evenings of the 24th and 26th January 1871. At the close of the last lecture, I was requested to publish what I had delivered. Circumstances have prevented me from complying with this request until now. In the interval I have been enabled to add a good deal of curious matter connected with the locality that did not appear in any of the lectures. It will be remembered that I speak of the Stockbridge of the past more than of the present. In the course of the narrative I have mentioned the sources from whence the most material parts of my information have been derived. I may add that the subject is by no means exhausted. ;; IV ntEFACE. In most cases the source of my information has been acknowledged, but I have specially to mention the following works : —Ballantine's Life of David Roberts Cunningham's Lives of the British Painters.

  • Dean Village News Issue 167 Spring 2014
    Dean Village News Issue 167 Spring 2014 www.deanvillage.org Damside Park The Old School Playground between Dean Path and Damside is now to be known as Damside Park. At the Annual General Meeting of 2012 the plan to upgrade this area into a children’s playground, a rest area for residents and visitors and a source of information about the history of Dean Village was approved. Since then the Dean Village Association has been waiting for ownership issues to be resolved and an assessment of costing. Part of the area is owned by the estate of the late Craig Richards, and the executors have agreed to the planned development of the park. The project has now been placed with Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust. The bulk of the funding will be borne by Edinburgh Council and the remainder will be raised by ELGT from other sources. The project has now been put out to tender. The Dean Village Association would like to place an information board in the Park describing the heritage of the area, and the history of the various buildings. This will cost around £2000, which will have to be raised by the Association. The committee will be presenting this subject for approval at the Annual General Meeting in April. When the work is completed there will be a Grand Opening Ceremony to which all residents of Dean village are invited. 1 Quiz Time Radio 4’s Round Britain quiz is an event spread over 12 weeks in which arcane questions are put to teams representing various regions of the country.
