The granton:hub archive
Did you know there used to be a circus school in North Edinburgh? Perhaps you have heard about local residents’ dynamic community activism in the 1970s and are interested in Edinburgh local history?
It could be that you have just moved to the area and would like to know more about your new home, its history and activities? Or perhaps you are a writer, doing a school project, or an undergraduate, MA or PhD student in history or community development who may find our History Hub useful.
We have photographs, films, newspapers and much more that will bring the past alive, and we’d like to invite you to come and explore our Granton Archive Project and History Hub.
To access the archive please contact us via e-mail community@grantonhub.org​
​Practical Information
​Buses 16, 19, and 200 stop at the end of our road, Granton Park Avenue; there are bicycle racks behind the building; and there is plenty of free parking. Our postcode is EH5 1HS and there is a map showing our location on our website.
​
We do not have a creche, but your children are welcome to come with you if you do not have childcare. The Granton History Hub is in Madelvic House and we are sorry that it is not fully accessible. We do have a portable ramp to allow wheelchair and powerchair users to get into the building, which you will have access to, and once in the building there is level access and enough width in the corridors, but there is no wheelchair accessible toilet.
