Morning winter sunshine catches this fine Edwardian building on 17 January 2015. Try and imagine hordes of men with bunnets (flat caps) and moustaches pouring out of workmen's trains towards the huge gasworks to the left. The tram competiton stopped a mile short at Granton Square. This part of Edinburgh has been transformed in recent years by the ongoing Waterfront project, but this building and one preserved gasometer survive. See image [[33048]]

The former station at Granton Gasworks, photographed on 16 August 2006. Built by the Edinburgh & Leith Gas Commissioners in 1902 for the use of headquarters staff and still displaying the appropriate corporate seals on the front of the building. What is now an arched window in the centre of the upper floor originally provided access to an integral footbridge which crossed various lines and sidings to reach the works. The building will be retained as part of the Waterfront Development with various alternative uses currently being considered.

Granton Gasworks station from the south in 1999. Three gasholders still stood at that time, the easternmost of which dominates the view.
