The store, Fergusons Licensed Grocers, and all the opposite buildings on the right-hand aspect of the road have since been demolished and the street rerouted.
Ian Ross remembers the world and the store: “Fergusons was a favourite of the Reverend Robeert Dollar to pick up his whisky for the Abbey Manse next door”
The subsequent {photograph} is of the West Nethertown space of Dunfermline exhibiting the underside entrance to Pittencrieff Park earlier than the current gates have been constructed.
Ian Ross factors out that the homes featured are round 100 years outdated: “These houses along with their counterparts in Whirlbut Street were built by Dunfermline Town Council in 1925/1926.”
Dorothy Galbraith remembers the world: “This was on my lonely walk home from Dunfermline High School to Dewar Street in the 1960s. I loved it as I dawdled with the peacocks, spoke to Billy the cockatoo and arrived home having left exams and worries behind”.
Bill Archibald additionally remembers this entrance to the Glen: “The third home slightly below the timber was the place I used to reside on Milton Green and from the place I trekked via the Glen to Pittencrieff School.
“The Glen was our playground, we’d go on up the hill above the burn and the ‘Parkie’ would blow his whistle for us to come back down. We would snicker at him and he must depart in frustration.
“The Glen had all a younger boy required in these days-a slide, a merry-go-round and swings, plus the burn for minnows and sledging within the winter on the hill beneath Reverend Dollar’s home, the place we’d go raiding for apples in the summertime. Fun occasions.”
Our subsequent {photograph} from 1982 is a view alongside James Street to its junction with Queen Anne Street. Martin Richardson remembers the world: “The new wall on the left was the brand new Dunfermline Building Society-before that it was an outdated stone wall. Then a curtain store on the left if I keep in mind accurately.
“I walked that street many a day after I was at Primary School from 1962 to 1967. Just behind the digicam was the street to the cattle market, off to the best.”
Our closing {photograph} of the Alhambra in 1961 wasn’t in regards to the British Navy which was also known as the ‘Senior Service’ as a result of it being the oldest department of the British Armed Forces.
It was in actual fact a free present to advertise gross sales of the cigarette ‘Senior Service’ that launched in 1925 and was some of the costly and common manufacturers for many years.
Bruce Muir remembers the event: “I remember as a fourteen-year-old receiving a little pack of Senior Service cigarettes along with all the audience on the way in!”
