Plates, signs, notices etc

Back in November 1996 a display in the window of a solicitors' office in Bruntsfield commemorates the 40th anniversary of Edinburgh's last tram (or last moving tram, we'd have to say in July 2010) with some memorabilia. The 28 was indeed the last tram to run and half the population of Edinburgh alive in 1956 claim to have been on it. I'm sure the colour code of blue over green is authentic - unfortunately my list (image 26504) only goes up to 27 as the part-day 28 was a fairly late addition! The short and not very significant Stanley Road had in fact not been the terminus for many years; though the name continued to be used an extension was built down Craighall Road to Newhaven. See image 26567 for convenience.
