Hard Hats

            
An abandoned 19th Century style pub (but built in the 1980’s), Smithies Ale House on Eyre Place in Edinburgh has been completely torn down to make way for flats.
The pub shut down in March 2020 and plans were submitted to demolish and replace it with a new two-storey building consisting of 11 flats and maisonettes with a garden area. On April 11 2024 bulldozers came in and tore down the once beloved local down. Within the day, it was gone.

Before becoming Smithies, the site was occupied by a block of flats before three shops that laid derelict for over 20 years were knocked down to make way for the pub, named after its creator, Douglas Smith. Smithies was known for its Victorian features and atmosphere, with gas lamps and stained glass windows on the doors.
