A photograph of Sandy Rankine at Woodhaven Pier, with the Mars in the background, 1926. Sandy's family owned the joinery workshop above the pier (now known as Old Boathouse) and he lived in a cottage right on the Woodhaven bend until the 1990s.
This building, partially below ground, would have been packed with ice in the winter months. The ice would have kept throughout most of the year, and was used to keep recently landed salmon fresh. It is dated 1794.
A very old photograph probably around 1890. Trinity Church on the right and St Mary's in the centre. The block of shop and houses next to the steps has not yet been built, allowing a glimpse of St Thomas' in the distance. The shops were built around 1891 so the photograph pre-dates that.

The pier smiddy was owned by Tayfield Estate, and closed in the 1940s. The last tenants were the Don family, but prior to that the Smiddy had been worked by Willie Young, whose son John T Young established the bicycle repair shop on the High Road which became the successful Young's Garage on Boat Road.
This photograph shows JT Young's first premises on the High Road, where by 1896 he had established his successful cycle repair business.

The general practice surgery was at the rear of the building, entered through the back yard.
