EDITORS COMMENTS
Portobello, a coastal suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland, as depicted in this photograph from 1937. Located three miles to the east of the city centre, Portobello boasts a rich history as a former beach resort, offering a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The serene view of the Firth of Forth in the background adds to the tranquil atmosphere, with the promenade and high street stretching out before the eye. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the elegant architecture of the buildings lining the high street, and the simple pleasures of the time on display. The funfair rides and attractions, visible in the foreground, add a sense of excitement and joy, as families and friends gather to enjoy a day out. The beach and bathing pool, a popular attraction for locals and visitors alike, can be seen in the distance. The pool, which was opened in 1820, was a significant draw for tourists and was a symbol of the area's commitment to providing a high-quality leisure experience. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures the spirit of Portobello during the 1930s, a time of fun, relaxation, and community. The area's reputation as a popular resort continued well into the 20th century, and it remains a cherished part of Edinburgh's heritage to this day. Joppa, a historic district located at the eastern end of Portobello, can be seen in the background, adding to the rich tapestry of history and culture that makes Portobello such a unique and fascinating place.
