Help with an address in Edinburgh please
« on: Wednesday 05 March 14 15:02 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to read the address where an ancestor was living in Edinburgh when he married in 1864. I take it to be No 17 H??? Close, Pleasance, Edinburgh.

I can't see anything on a current map which fits the bill. I have had a look at some of the historic town plans on the NLS website, but drawn a blank.

Wondered if anyone here had any ideas.

Think it is Hardwell Close. It is still there - runs between Pleasance and Howden Street and is between East Crosscauseway and Gilmour Street.

I can't believe I didn't find that when I looked for it! How embarrassing.
Many thanks to you all. You have even found a photo.  ;D
