As the city enjoys the warmer months, we’ve raked through the archives to put together some images from summers down the decades.
During its heyday, Portobello was the place to be during the sunny days - which is still where many flock to today. After a large open-air swimming pool and permanent funfair appeared at Portobello, it became an ideal location for spending the summer months.
In 1901, the Portobello Baths were opened overlooking the beach. Portobello Pier was open from 1871 until the start of the First World War.
