Victoria India Rubber Mills - Leith Walk

I saw the title "Victoria India Rubber Mills" very faintly above an archway North of Balfour Street. I have tried twice to get a decent image but so far the faint writing has not been caught.

I walked through the archway and found the non-street side of the building had these walkways.

I now know that the building is listed as an example of mid 19th century workers on site dwellings and that VIRM was, a hundred years ago, a major manufacturer of hot water bottles.
