New Life from Old at The Madelvic
Craft Fair Exhibition Workshops
Saturday 27 February 11am – 4pm
Made in Granton
Community group plans peoples’ exhibition
We are holding a one-day ‘History of North Edinburgh’ event, an exhibition of things, film and photos in the former office of the Madelvic electric car company in Granton Park Avenue (off West Granton Road) on Saturday 24 October from 11 am- 3pm.
The theme is the people, industry and workplaces of North Edinburgh.
Did any members of your family work in the Madelvic factory all those years ago? Or more recently in Parsons Peebles, the Wire Works, Salvesens, the Gas Works; what about trawling, whaling, fish merchants, on the trams or other industry in North Edinburgh? Both men’s and women’s work of course!
We need you! We are looking for copies of any photos, stories, memories, artefacts, interesting things to share in an exhibition. We are hopeful that this will go on to create a permanent museum of North Edinburgh.
If you have anything you could contribute to this please contact us as soon as you can …

What can we do with Madelvic House?
We would love you to join us for a fun event at Madelvic House, Granton Park Avenue, Edinburgh on Saturday 24 May 10am – 12 pm. Lots of family fun with competitions, face painting and refreshments.
Waterfront Edinburgh Limited, City of Edinburgh Council, North Edinburgh Fights Back and Pilton Youth and Children’s Project are all working together to find sustainable, long-term community uses for Madelvic House. It is an important piece of local heritage and we are looking for people who live nearby that would be interested in supporting this project.
We would love to hear your thoughts about what you would like your community hub to include. We hope you’ll be able to join us.
We are keen to speak to as many people as possible, so please pass this invite on to anyone that you think may like to take part.
