Curators are on a quest to discover whether a piece of the linoleum that furnished Sir Paul McCartney’s childhood home was originally made in Fife.
Staff at Kirkcaldy Galleries will sift through pattern books from the 1950s to find a match for the former Beatle’s floor covering, which is still in the hall at 20 Forthlin Road, Liverpool.
The investigation is part of a new venture that celebrates Kirkcaldy’s industrial past, which saw the Fife town become a world leader in linoleum production.
The National Trust donated a sample from the floor to Kirkcaldy Galleries in 1997, two years after the trust acquired the property where Paul McCartney lived from 1955 to 1964.
