THE first photograph in this week’s trip down West Fife’s Memory Lane is from the early days of the construction of the huge Abbeyview housing estate and shows Wedderburn Street near its junction with Blacklaw Road. Dunfermline Abbey can be seen in the distance, explaining the reason the estate was so named. Whitelaw Farm, which became home for Mitchells’ removal company in the 1960s, can be seen in the upper right of the photograph over the tops of the houses under construction. Our next photograph is of the tennis courts that were situated at the top of the Public Park behind the Carnegie Hall. The area is currently set out as a skatepark. Donald Adamson has memories of the area as a child: “I spent a lot of time there in the 1960s and 1970s playing both tennis and especially putting on the green in the foreground, which went up and over a sort of shoulder of the hill. Great times.”
