Shrubhill Tram Depot
Shrubhill Workshops & Power Station : Cambell Reid of developer Places for People Developments Ltd, John Cameron, retired railwayman Jim Summers and Robyn Clift also of the developer (whose official opening is on 25 August).
Remarks by John Cameron were as follows :
'I am delighted that the successful Trams to Newhaven project is associated with a rekindling of interest in Edinburgh's tram heritage. As a depot and later a power station, Shrubhill served the city through the eras of horse, cable and electric tram into the time of bus supremacy, becoming for a period a museum for the electric tram today to be found at Crich. Now the new tram line gives this area exceptional connectivity, so it's wonderful that this location is supporting a new community that through its name The Engine Yard and this Red Wheel will be ever mindful of its
inheritance.'
