The Mall was built on the field next to Nether Liberton. A large Sainsbury Savacentre store formed the core.
Cameron Toll Shopping Centre is constructed on piles over the Braid Burn stream that powers the old mill in Nether Liberton.

A petrol station was added to the Centre in the early nineties. The car park was extended in 1996 to within a few feet of Liberton Bank House. This house was lived in by Arthur Conan Doyle whilst at school in Edinburgh in the 1860s.
The House was threatened with demolition to make way for a 100-seat McDonalds. Liberton Bank House is reputedly the oldest surviving building connected with Conan Doyle. There was a strong campaign to save Liberton Bank House, once within the rural village of Nether Liberton.
Liberton Bank House was delisted in 1997.
Following the purchase of the Cameron Toll foodcourt - now to be called Food on the Mezz - by Comcatco a major refurbishment is scheduled, possibly in 2004. Comcatco run 14 high profile foodcourts within shopping centres such as Buchanan Galleries in Glasgow.
