THE photographs in this week’s trip down West Fife’s Memory Lane feature some of the popular cafes that used to operate in Dunfermline. The first photograph shows ‘The Brunswick Café’ that was situated in Carnegie Drive across from the bus station where Tesco is today. Ann Muir remembers her time working there: “I worked there during my school years for Antonia and Luigi Pellicci. I remember being called ‘lassie’ which was the usual description/roar to all female staff – I can still swear in Italian fluently too. Used to love the homemade roast beef cooked with loads of garlic. The ice cream was the best in town. They were both grafters with the café open from 7am until 9pm seven days a week.”
THE photographs in this week’s trip down West Fife’s Memory Lane look at a street that no longer exists in Dunfermline, Randolph Street. The first photograph is of the junction of Queen Anne Street and the top of Randolph Street as viewed from Chapel Street. The equivalent outlook today would be from the south-west corner of the new bus station stretching down over the grassy gap site onto the High Street. There were Co-operative shops on either side of the street as recalled by Linda Mason: “I remember it well. Co-op shops on the left side, drapers, shoes etc. Used to get my school shoes there as there was only one place that had ‘Start Rite’ shoes for flat fleet – you had to put your feet in a measuring machine to make sure of a right fit. Horses were kept on the right-hand side for the Co-op milk carts. The office was upstairs where the ‘dividend’ was collected. I had my wedding reception in the Unitas Hall in 1973.”
