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.
1920s view from the track up to Causewayhead. The photograph is taken from the sharp right-angled bend in the track, looking over to the hill above Northfield farm. The view hasn't changed hugely apart from the large mast now on top of the hill, and there are many more trees on the hilltop now. According ...
Framed painting by Helen Wallace of the old Royal Buildings, sometimes called Turnbull's Buildings after the man who built them in 1877. They stood on the corner of Robert Street and Tay Street, but were demolished 1970-1971.
A fine view down Station Brae showing the allotments on the left, dating probably from the 1950s. The allotments had been created early in World War II as part of the government's Dig for Victory campaign. Briefly, in the late 1920s, this ground had been the site of Newport's only putting green, but the ground ...
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.
The shore below Tay Street. The house is Taycliffe at 75 Tay Street.
Taygrove, the last house in Newport, standing under the Tay Road Bridge. Photograph probably taken in 1940s.
A fabulous and unusual view taken from the road bridge while under construction. On the slope is Northfield farm, and in the distance the chimney of the gasworks. The gasworks moved to this location in 1903 from their position below the High Street. The roadway in front centre is the access track to the construction ...
Framed painting of terrace of houses on West Road, Newport
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.
An unusual view of the old granary taken from the shore-line.
The Terrace on West Road.
This tomb is just a short distance outside Newport. It's at Boulterhall just past the five roads roundabout and over to the left. It's the ruins of the tomb of Alexander Nairne of St Fort, who died in 1642 in a street riot in London. The tomb was erected in 1647. At one time you ...
View from Victoria Street towards Kilburn.
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 from East Newport Station, probably around 1900. Taken before footbridge was built (1902), and Mars training ship is out on the river.
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.
Lovely view looking upriver from Gowrie Hill above Woodbine Terrace. Painting by Harry Vincent.
View over Victoria Street and beyond. Railway line is seen but no medical centre. On the right is the tall, slender spire of St Fillan's Church and on the left the squat tower of St Thomas' stands out.
View from East Newport to West Newport.
Last stretch of the track towards Causewayhead, with the farmhouse just visible through the trees in the centre of the picture. The field on the right now contains water tanks, part of the local supply chain.
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.
View upriver from East Newport station.
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, ...
