This print takes us back in time to the year 1900, offering a rare glimpse into the construction of Granton Gas Works in Victorian Scotland. The image showcases an intricate view of machinery that played a pivotal role in shaping this monumental project. Titled "Portable Engine, Stone Crusher and Concrete Mixer" it highlights the remarkable engineering feats achieved during this era. The photograph captures the essence of industrial progress as workers diligently operate these powerful machines amidst a backdrop of raw materials and bustling activity. The portable engine stands tall, exuding strength and reliability, while the stone crusher displays its formidable capabilities by effortlessly breaking down large rocks for use in construction. Adjacent to them is the concrete mixer, symbolizing innovation and efficiency as it blends various components to create durable building material. The date inscribed on this print - April 11th, 1900 - adds historical significance to its already compelling narrative. It serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, ambitious projects like Granton Gas Works were underway, shaping our cities and improving lives. Preserved by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, this photograph offers not only an insight into Victorian-era technology but also pays homage to those who labored tirelessly behind these machines. As we admire their craftsmanship from afar today, let us appreciate their contribution towards creating lasting infrastructure that has stood the test of time.
