56 pictures illustrate attractive Dalkeith in the years before the modern Jarnac shopping centre was built. Highlights include the old Bridgend tollhouse, the amazingly ornate exterior of Dalkeith Fish Restaurant and two views of the town's historic closes (most of which have now been demolished). Eskbank toll, where six roads meet, is seen at different stages of modernisation, while both Dalkeith and Eskbank stations are included. An Edwardian picture of the cobbled High Street features a hand-written poster boasting that it is more than ten yards wider than Edinburgh's Princes Street!
