Fishing trip

Thursday this morning and Election Day across the UK, clearly there is going to be a big change.
I had a lazy morning, but took a notion for some fresh haddock for our meal this evening so decided to head down to the harbour at Musselburgh.
It's been a strange day weather-wise, very strong winds but quite warm this morning. The day has been filled with blustery showers though alternating with beautiful blue skies and sunshine.
My trip to Musselburgh Harbour was through sunshine, but I was taken aback when I got there to find that the fish shop was closed. I decided that having come all the way to the far side of Edinburgh I would just carry on the extra few miles and go to Port Seton to the next harbour. I enjoy driving so apart from the additional cost, it was actually a pleasant trip. I took several pictures of the harbour and the sea, it was quite rough with beautiful white horses cresting the waves. The boats were bouncing around in the harbour (extra). The air was very clear with beautiful views across to Fife.
My blip is perhaps less beautiful but rather interesting. It's a building on Salamander Street, or the front of one at least. The moulded lettering over the door appears to say J&J. The window pillars are very grand but if you look closely, they may in fact be concrete rather than stone as there is a metal T shape supporting each of them.

I did find this online:
Archaeology
A Heritage Statement has been submitted in support of the application. The Statement
identifies 20 heritage assets within a radius of 200m of the proposed development site;
five of these are situated within the site, which comprise the location of the southern
section of the Edinburgh and Leith Glass Works, the site of a glass furnace, the Bone
Mill and Chemical Works, the Crystal Glass Works at the southern end of the site and
the remnants of the building wall with the initials J&J C.
CEC Archaeology states that the site is of industrial significance dating back to the
construction of cones 5 & 6 in c.1795 of the Leith Glass Work Co., the later 19th
century James and James Cunningham Chemical Works and latter 20th century
fertiliser works. Historically the site occurred on the medieval beach and foreshore to
the east of the medieval port and harbour of Leith. Salamander Street is known from
18th century plans running along the beach line (although it may be earlier in date
representing one of the shore roads linking Leith with Musselburgh and the east

Back in the 21st Century, I'm not sure who the cartoon character is but he appears to be stuck on rather than painted. Interestingly if you look on Google Street View, You'll see he used to be brightly coloured.

The fresh haddock and chips was delicious btw.
