Architecture Notes

NT27SW 634 23888 73771

Edinburgh Dean Free Church plans, 1888 Bin 45 Bag 3 Sydney Mitchell & Wilson Drawings, Dick Peddie & McKay collection, donated to NMRS on 23.8.1995

3, 4, Belford Road, formerly Dean Free Church and later (c1890) Dean Studio (an artist's studio) which burnt down on 23.9.1954.

The gate pillars were removed in 1992 by a developer who had obtained consent for an office block on the site and have been placed at a property in East Lothian.

The font from Belford Church (which replaced Dean Free Church) was removed to Well Court where it stands in a circular space at the riverside close to the footbridge. The church records do not reveal whether the font, like the church and Well Court had been designed by Sidney Mitchell.

Information from Miss Forrester, Dean Village Association.
