Good clear view of East Newport from the pier, probably around 1900. The gasworks chimney was removed in 1905 after the gasworks had moved in 1903 to their new location on the Tayport Road.
Quite an unusual view towards East Newport, as it focuses on the most easterly stretch of the Braes. The houses on Tay Street between Robert Street and James Street can also be seen. Most interesting however, is the white cottage on the cliff at the left of the photograph. This is Kempstane, a small croft ...
Good clear view of the area around the old pier around 1900. On the extreme left are the washing lines for the flats in the old granary, and the gasworks chimney dominates the scene. McKellar the painter's name is easy to see from the Fifie, and going towards the west, first Chapel House, then Seamills ...
Key that opened the gates of the level crossing at East Newport station.

A lovely clear photograph of East Newport station and the view towards the rail bridge, taken before the footbridge was erected in 1902. There is still much open space on either side of Station Road, and in the distance the Mars training ship can be seen.

An early postcard view of one of the Fifies, probably the Dundee, approaching Newport pier. The Dundee operated on the crossing from 1875 until 1917.
Interesting old photo of the ferry Dundee at Newport around 1900. In the background can be seen the Newport Hotel and all the old buildings of the pier area. The Dundee was in service from 1875 until 1917.
Two photographs of the Dundee at Newport, one to the west of the pier and one to the east. The Dundee has an interesting career history. Launched in 1875, she was on the Dundee-Newport crossing for 42 years until 1917. In addition to working the ferry passage, the Dundee also did many pleasure cruises up ...
A photo taken in Boat Road, of the Fife and Forfarshire Yeomanry returning from their annual camp at Buddon before World War I. The Pilkington family of St Fort are the onlookers in the horse and trap.
Much excitement at Newport Pier in the early 1900s as the horse drawn fire brigade arrives from Dundee by ferry. Whether they ever arrived in time to extinguish a blaze is probably doubtful.

The pond was perhaps better known by its other names of Jess Philip's dam or Washer Willie's pond. However ...
