' This site, now a Filling Station, was at one time - mid 19th century - a railway and/or tram depot. It is marked "Fisherrow Depot" on the 1:1056 large scale town plan of Musselburgh surveyed in 1853. It was be the site of a depot originally operated by the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway, which had run a branch line to the harbour in or around 1831. The light-toned curved path? appears to mark the line of a former rail or tram track. I believe that the site was originally called "Fisherrow Station" and may have carried both passenger and freight traffic until it closed in or around 1847, when the North British Railway built a new branch line and a new station next to the "Roman Bridge".
