Junction Bridge
View over the Water of Leith looking Northwest along Great Junction Street in November 2007. Down below on the left stood the platforms of Junction Bridge station, opened by the Edinburgh, Leith and Newhaven Railway in 1846 as Junction Road and, following the name change in 1923, eventually closed in 1947. The station booking office stood on the same level as the road bridge with the entrance straight ahead on the left. After passing below the bridge the line entered a tunnel under Coburg Street, off to the right, before emerging at North Leith terminus (also unofficially known as Leith Citadel) on Commercial Street.
