The Big Freeze 1923 The big freeze in Newport 1923. According to records, 2.5 feet (75cm) of snow fell in Braemar in November 1923. It looks as if Newport had something similar. Station Brae Allotments View down Station Brae. Before World War II this ground had been a putting green, but during the war it was dug up and used for allotments as part of the Government's Dig For Victory campaign. The allotments were maintained after the war until the town council built houses there for the elderly. West Road, Newport A more peaceful West Road, with the row of houses (Woodend) on the left very recognisable. The main difference from today is Miss Crichton's grocery shop in the end of the block. West Road, Newport A slightly unfamiliar view of West Road. These houses were demolished and for many years the land was used for garden ground. Now the plot is completely filled with three new houses. On the left are the houses of the Terrace which are still there today. Postcard: Station Brae, Newport-on-Tay This postcard shows the view down Station Brae from Newport East Station. It probably dates from the 1930s when the ground on the left was a putting green. Granny Nicol Granny Nicol appears to have been a well-known and much loved Newport character. Widowed in World War I, she was left to bring up five children on her own. First Car in Newport This was the first car in Newport, seen here outside the Yellow Castle. It belonged to Dr Stewart, Newport's first doctor, and was driven by Alexander Caird, pictured here in his Army Transport Unit uniform during World War I. Flying Boats on the River Flying boats on the river, after World War I (left) and before World War II (right). In the years before World War II Woodhaven was used by RAF reservists. They camped each year near Inverdovat farm and used the pier at Woodhaven for exercises on their Singapore biplane flying boats. The pier would see more ... Multi-Image Postcard of Newport Postcard of Newport with five images: High Street; Newport Pier; Newport from the Pier; the Beach; and HMS Vulcan. All pre-World War I. Multi-Image Postcard of Newport Postcard of Newport with four views: High Street; Newport-Dundee ferry; Tay Bridge from south; and Newport from west. All probably 1950s. Big Freeze on River 1982 Two photographs of big freeze on the river in January 1982, when ice floes coming down the river piled up on the Newport shore. View from East Newport Station View from East Newport Station, probably around 1900. Taken before footbridge was built (1902), and Mars training ship is out on the river. Kirk Road, Newport 1950 An almost unrecognisable image of Kirk Road in 1950, before the road was widened and the trees cut down . Queueing for the Ferry, 1960 This photo shows cars queuing as far as Cupar Road to catch the ferry back to Dundee during the St Andrews Open Golf Championship, 1960. Ian Botham on UK Walk 1985 Photograph shows international cricketer Ian Botham on the dual carriageway above Newport in 1985. He is on his charity walk from John o' Groats to Land's End. Botham's charity walks earned more than £12 million for children's charities. A Submarine and East Newport One of the submarines based in the Tay before World War I. In this photograph, beyond submarine 49, these extensive gardens, outbuildings and glasshouses all belonged to Seymour House, then the newly built private house of John Adam St Quentin Leng (son of Sir John of Kinbrae) and family, later the Seymour Hotel and now ... Netherlea House Stained Glass Two stained glass panes from the staircase window in Netherlea House, demolished in 2019. Walking on West Road in Wartime A happy group on West Road. The gentleman's cycling outfit is about as far removed from today's kit as can be imagined. Meanwhile, the two ladies comply with wartime fashion rules of single-breasted coats and jackets. No fabric must be wasted, and so the skirt in the middle is fairly short and has a pleat, ... Victoria Street Towards Kilnburn An early view probably from early 1900s looking from Victoria Street towards Kilnburn. On the left is Darvel Lodge, so called because James Morton who had it built in 1888, came from the village of Darvel in Ayrshire. Before Darvel Lodge was built, this was the site of the Tayfield Smithy. View Towards East Newport from the Fifie 1940s A view towards East Newport from the Fifie during World War II, taken by one of the Norwegians based at Woodhaven. Apart from Royal Buildings, St Fillan's Church and spire, the granary, the burgh yard and the Braes clear of vegetation, the view would be much the same today. East Newport from River 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 ... James Street Window Mural 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 ... View from East Station c. 1900 A familiar view towards the river from above the East Station. The footbridge over the railway was erected in early 1900s so the photograph pre-dates that. The Mars training ship is just visible in the haze. PAGE: 12Next >
