Later the Nelson (Neilson) family who owned the printers that stood nearby purchased the property in 1860 and built a further 2 property in 1869 called St Leonard’s Hall and Abden Hall. The properties were then purchased by Sir J D Po***ck the rector of the University of Edinburgh in 1939 and later he gifted them to the university to be used as student accommodation.

Salisbury Green is used as a Hotel and conference facility and St Leonard’s Hall is a wedding venue and function suite while Abden House was left for accommodation for the faculty it is now the Confucius Chinese Institute.

Relpy to Diib refards Follow and no-follow SEO and google algorithm to punish sites for being popular

I do not require to follow other sites as the information I have on my site is original and searched by me not coming from wiki people. 9 years of hard work taking photos and researching the history. The google maps I have, have been plotted by me and place I have visited. No adverts just using social media to be seen.
