In pictures: Memories of Touch in the 1970s and the Glen Bridge

THE first photograph in this week’s trip down West Fife’s Memory Lane shows the building that was the community centre on Touch housing estate. Lesley Connell remembers the estate from the 1970s: “We moved to Touch in 1970 so I remember walking past the hall and going to discos there etc. We lived in a house looking out onto the footy pitch at the school. I remember the wee green van with toys and games for kids coming in the summer holidays to the school pitch. That was when vans brought things to you. Not a bad idea in a pandemic!”

Dunfermline: Decision on £230,000 of roadworks put back

DUNFERMLINE S roads are in a terrible state and there are hopes that more money will be found to fix them. Planned improvement works in the town costing £230,000 were expected to get the nod on Tuesday but councillors agreed to hold off to see if extra cash becomes available. The convener of the City of Dunfermline area committee, Helen Law, said: I’d be grateful if we could agree to defer this so we can get more information and hopefully get more budget and do more projects. “Without question, the roads are in a terrible state and I’ll certainly be looking for more money for roads when the council sets its budget.”

In pictures: Memories of Dunfermline s Bruce Street

IN THIS week’s trip down West Fife’s Memory Lane, we look at one of the oldest streets in Dunfermline, Bruce Street. It was originally named Collier Row, perhaps from the Gaelic word, Coile, meaning wood or forest, referring to its position backing on to the great woods of Dunfermline, before being renamed King Street in 1833 and later Bruce Street in memory of King Robert the Bruce. A very early source says the houses were in general thatched with straw, some with heather, and in one or two cases covered with ‘thin flat stanes’. The mill burn was to be seen flowing down the street with stepping stones from every door down to the waters edge .
