Last days of lost Edinburgh fire station captured in throwback 1960s photograph

A photo from the 1960s has resurfaced showing a team of firefighters testing out a horse-drawn fire engine.

The image was captured by John King in the “mid-to-late sixties” at Stockbridge Fire Station which was located on Saunders Street before it was demolished around 1967.

Residents of Edinburgh from that era will remember the large fire station building in the area along with tenement buildings before it was brought down to make way for new blocks of flats between Saunders Street and India Place.
