Lovely clear view of a much photographed scene from the Braes to the old pier. The granary, gasworks and other buildings at the head of the pier are long gone, with only stumps remaining now of the old pier. The pier provides the perfect sheltered corner for the small boats drawn up on the shore. ...
Not a lot remaining of the old pier at Granary Lane, probably around 1966. This pier was built by the Dundee Guildry in the 18th century.
Travelling in style down on the old Granary Lane pier 1920s. At the time of the photograph Granary Lane was Gas Lane.

Pier Shops and Ferry Buildings c. 1960
A fairly quiet day at the pierhead in 1950s.
The local sergeant keeping an eye on the Ariel motor bike and side-car driver. In the background the old public telephone box. Although the familiar red telephone box was designed in 1924, it was only in the late 1930s that it became widespread, and it clearly hadn't reached Newport at the time of this photograph.
The first shop in the parade of shops in the pier buildings was a police office, so there was always a police presence at the pier. The car seems to be heading off, and on the other side of the road a car parked outside the post office and an approaching bus are just visible ...
The old post office building still today has stamp machines on the wall outside. A M Anderson was post-master, watchmaker. jeweller and optician. He was also a photographer who took many of the early 20th century postcard views.
A postcard of Boat Road from the pierhead, showing the Post Office on the right, then the Mission Hall and smiddy, then J.T.Young's garage. Probably 1920s.
An early postcard view of Boat Brae, showing the parade of shops with Chalmers the Chemist prominent.
Postcard of Boat Road, Newport, c. 1920, after arrival of ferry, showing Post Office, Mission Hall and smiddy.
Lovely clear view of East Newport and the pier. Possibly the ferry Dundee at the pier, and beyond the ferry pier, the old pier is still quite intact. The granary and other buildings around the old pier are clearly seen and of course the gasworks chimney is prominent. In the distance the old Royal Buildings ...
Postcard of Newport taken from the pierhead, with Tay Road Bridge in background, probably about 1970.
An undated postcard of Newport, taken from the pier.
Photograph showing Provost Scrymgeour (Provost 1934 - 1937) immediately opposite the ferry pier. The crowd is clearly waiting for someone or something, but will we ever know what it was. Could be someone important arriving or departing by the ferry, or perhaps someone driving through.
Lovely painting of the Seamills Smiddy done by Robin Don. The Dons were the last blacksmiths to work in the smiddy.
A stormy day at the ferry pier. In the distance are Royal Buildings on Robert Street, the boat shed on the braes and the gasworks chimney, now all long gone. The rear of the pier buildings is not quite as impressive as their more ornate frontage. The house front right was Taybrae, at the top ...
Photograph of a police sergeant and police countable at Newport Pier, c. 1930s.
An early picture of the view from Newport to Dundee (undated). A small pillared building is also visible in the picture of the pier showing the steamship Union.
View from the river of Boat Road pier area. On the right is the old mission hall, originally the granary for the St Fort Estate. On the left is one of the original sea mills, and up above is Seamills House, no longer there.
A view towards Newport pier and Boat Road from the Fifie, taken by one of the Norwegians based at Woodhaven during World War II. Much of Boat Road is dominated by J T Young's garage, but the third building from the left, sandwiched between two parts of the garage, is the Chapel House. The Chapel ...
