Mayfield, Midlothian

Mayfield is a community in Midlothian, Scotland, located just South of Dalkeith near Edinburgh between the A68 and the A7 south. This housing development was built, in the 1950s, as overspill accommodation for the colliery workers of nearby Newtongrange and Easthouses and for other essential workers, as well as to house the workforce for a small but relatively successful industrial estate. The decline of the coal industry in the 1980s led to the closure of the collieries.
