The brewery building at no. 46 has retained many of its original openings including vaulted areas in the basement and is an important remnant of the industrial past of the area. In 1938, the West and South blocks of the brewery were converted into a gymnasium for the University of Edinburgh Centre Dept of Physical Education. The Pleasance Sports Complex is now regarded as one of the busiest and most impressive sport and exercise providers in the country, and regularly attracts plaudits for the scope and quality of its facilities, services and programmes.
