Summary
Description Head of Henry Cockburn.JPG |
English:
Head of Henry Cockburn on the former Cockburn Hotel in Cockburn Street, Edinburgh. Cockburn had urged his fellow citizens to remain vigilant in ensuring that Victorian expansion and improvements did not irrevocably damage or obliterate the built heritage and environment. Cockburn Street, created five years after his death to provide a more direct access from the High Street to Waverley Station, resulted in the partial demolition of several Old Town closes. With apparently unconscious irony the new street was named in his honour.
