Two drawings showing plans for the extension to St Thomas' Church in 1902. Plans were drawn on 24 May 1901. As can be seen on second drawing the area of the church would be more than doubled, from a very simple rectangle shape to a building with increased seating in new transepts, as well as ...
Two trees planted in Tayfield in 1966 to celebrate opening of the Road Bridge. Like the bridge itself, they have flourished!

A photo of the shops in Cupar Road (formerly St Phillan’s Place) probably taken in 2015. Amy's Flower Shop, which was on the corner, closed in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic.
Annandale Bridge Club was formed in 1949 at Annandale on St Fort Road, Woodhaven, the home of the Tanner family. It quickly outgrew the hall and lounge there, and they moved to the Blyth Hall in 1950. Apart from 1973 - 1974 when the hall was being altered and extended, the bridge club has met ...
Memorial column on roundabout at south end of road bridge. This memorial is in memory of the five workmen who died during road bridge construction, and of contractor Willie Logan who died in 1966 when his private plane crashed near Inverness. He never saw his bridge completed. The memorial is in the shape of one ...

Those of a certain age will remember using these old stamp machines. You popped in your penny, or two or three (old pennies of course, pre-decimalisation of 1971), and out came your stamp. In the days when snail mail was the only form of communication, these machines were lifelines when the post office was closed. ...

Quirky Choir, which offered everyone the chance to enjoy singing together, was organised and led by Donna Vincent from 2011 until 2019.
I've always found this mural on the blocked up gable window of the house at the bottom of James Street rather intriguing. I've now learned that it was done around 1975 by four-year-old Boo Paterson (now a successful artist) and her older brother who lived in this house. They collected sea glass from the shore ...

The remains of the windmill which gave the name to Windmill Park. The remains of the wind pump are in the copse of trees at the south end of the park.
Four amazing photographs showing the real Blyth Hall roof. In 1974 a false ceiling was installed in the hall, which no doubt helped with heating, but it hid this magnificent roof. Architect Robert Lorimer, designer of the Scottish National War Memorial in Edinburgh Castle, and of our own Newport memorial, described this ceiling as one ...
