What is recorded here

Peoples Palace Mission, Childrens Nursery stood on Cowgate in Edinburgh, giving children a stable room when the street gave them chaos. Whether the building still exists or whether it became another use, the name preserves the intention: a mission that wanted young people to eat, play and be seen. That much is enough to remember it as a place of mercy rather than a dot on a map.
