I helped transcribed the 1841 census and Rose st was part of the area I did. There were certainly lots of brothel keepers and prostitutes in 1841. I live in edinburgh and have never known Rose St to be the red light area in the 70s. A couple of streets down from Rose St, Danube St, was were the prostitutes hung out but that area has changed now and they are nearer to Leith.
not sure when rose St became 'respectable' but I would have classed it as red light in 1841 time<html><DIV><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive" color=#660099>June <IMG height=12 src="http://graphics.hotmail.com/emsmile.gif"; width=12></FONT></DIV></html>
