19 Haddington Place, Edinburgh
« on: Tuesday 09 March 10 09:30 GMT (UK) »
Please do any of you listers live in Edinburgh and/or know the city well? My maternal Gt Grandparents were married at 19 Haddington Place in Edinburgh on July 1st 1863 and I am wondering if that address still exists as it was in those days? Would it be possible to get a photo of it if so?
Regards
Tantan

Many thanks to Claire W77 and Northern Rose I have taken a look and got an image. Do you know if there is somewhere in Edinburgh I could contact on line for an old image. Very many thanks for your help.

I have a small stoneware whisky flagon dating to the latter part of the 19th century
with the same address, 19 Haddington Place, Edinburgh impressed upon it,
bearing the name of the wine and spirit merchant, namely J.C.Guy.
Wondered if this was of any help?

This link shows 19 Haddington Place. The other link above has been open to Google's broad minded interpretation of the location.

Google Maps streetview showing 19 Haddington Place

This view is from 2008. According to the Royal Mail website postcode finder, the shop is now named "Chillie".
