Although the spelling varied at first, the name became Princes Street.

Thanks! Added the primary spelling for "Princes Street."

The street was never known as Princess Street and would only ever have been written that way in error (a common and easy mistake right enough). It was named after the sons of George III, the British monarch at the time of the New Town's construction in the 1760s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Town,_Edinburgh

If only this spacious elegance was still there! Also noticeable in these old photographs is the lack of street furniture and signage that blights modern photography of street scenes in our towns and cities.

There is a definite sense of newness and pride, even with a little horse-poo evident to the right. ;)

Simply amazing! I'd love so much to go for a walk up 1858 princes street with no crowds, shops, buses or people with clip boards looking money. It makes me sad that all this character has been paved over and commercialised, the only way the city would survive though. I'd rather dodge the odd pile of horse poo than pushy charity workers ;-)

How I wish Princes Street was still like this rather than the mish mash of mediocre architecture!
