Edinburgh Tenement

.

I stayed in this old tenement building in Edinburgh and was fascinated at the way someone stored their bicycle!

Tenements or multi-occupancy buildings were originally built to house the working classes as cities industrialised. Many of them are now highly desirable residences. How times change

.

If you don’t already know my other blog 1500 Saturdays I hope you’ll pop over and take a look here I haven’t been posting much there lately but I’m sure you’ll find something to read.

I can almost smell the wood of the banisters and the oil on the bike’s chains! Great shots.

Great shots Helen. I think I know the location, and you have caught the feel and atmosphere of the place. Well done!
