The Monday Club
The same company from the eighties are still sitting together in the noughties (2009) !! Catherine, Kirsty and Jacqui Sala, Greig and Shirley Ann Beveridge, Vikki Law, Sarah Diggan and the infamous but loveable rough Jim Morgan! Still listening to Fleetwood Mac. We are off to see The Eagles on July 4th, the Kinglassie famous, and much loved by all, Becky (Ricky, Beck, Rebecca, Bex) Beveridge introduced The Eagles to us in the early eighties, which has always been in our heart and a forever favourite.
We are all sitting havin a hair of the dog at Catherines, Jim is lovin Beat It by Micheal Jackson as I type this, singing 'sheet it' instead of 'beat it' - if you know Jim, u know the script. Jacqui cracking us all up as usual. Going to T in the Park (for the 14th year) camping on the Friday night for the first time! ohhhhhhhhh so we are saying just now any way.
Anyway a bit about us for the... Read more
The Milton
I was born and brought up in the Milton. Lived at 2 Milton Rows. I can remember going to Crossshill School. Miss Foote and Miss Page were two of the teachers. I remember well the Miners Galas, the potato picking, and what seemed to be long warm summers when us children played ball on the large end wall of the houses, much to Granny Renton's disgust. We also played paldies and skipping and Tig. I remember the wash houses and how we always had soup on wash days as it took my mother all morning to do the washing in the huge wash tub. I remember too when the Second World War finished and we had a big bonfire at the back of the houses. My sister walked down passed between what was Dr Sinclair's house and Anderson's pub and viewed the new houses there now. We had a living room with a sink and a bed recess one bedroom and an outside toilet. The linoleum shone and my mum made... Read more
Thornton Junction
Is Thornton Junction still working? I lived in Methil in the 1940s and Methil had a busy station and I remember when we got to Thornton Junction we heard "All change Thornton Junction". I forget where we were going as I am in my 70's, it wasn't Edinburgh, I think that was change at Kirkcaldy.
Your Roots
I was born in Lumphinnans Road but my childhood memories of growing up are in Station Road where the houses were knocked down to build Lochgelly School. My name is Anne Steedman, my mum & dad were Mary & Andrew. The girl next door to me was Katherine, I think her parents were Naomi & Bert. I remember the corner shop, I think that was owned by the Farmers. Used to be very friendly with the girl who lived right at the end near the model, I think her name was Ruth. I moved back to Lumphinnans Road to live in the flats. I remember a boy called Billy and his sister lived along the road from me. The model - that was something to talk about lol. I first went to Crosshill School then later to the West. Because of work we then moved to Corby. I moved back over 10yrs ago and still think of my days at Station Road and Lumphinnans.... Read more
Hanging Around in Late 1980s
I think it's shocking there are no memories from Lumphinnans. I have quite a few photos of the Lumphinnans Club 1 which was started to give youngsters something to do, this ran for a few years and we all had great fun on different places which we visited like Newcastle, Kenmore and ice skating. Everyone was involved in these activities, also hanging aroung Joe's shop at the corner and always being chased away, where we would move to the old brickie factory to see what hassle we could cause with Lochgelly at the farm road. Also memories and photos of Rougvies and the under 18 disco where I started to work Saturdays behind the bar when I became 18, and the Kronk. Even though I did not come from Lumphinnans I did have a lot of great friends which I've lost touch with and really great memories of there with pictures, so if anyone would like to contact me through this web site I would like to hear from you...

Miners Raws
I remember the fun I had in the 1950s as a child playing such simple games like paldies, and kick the can. Lliving down the Raws everyone was your friend. The people of the Raws joined the children in playing rounders and other games. The only bad memory I have is of the nit nurse checking our heads at school. I was a child then called Connie Young. I hated being the one who had the nits, I couldn't do anything about it. I was only a child. Never mind. The fun I had raking about, getting excited about Guy Fawkes, waiting for me mother to come home from the tatty picking so that I could get me toffee apple, oh the joy. I remember Charlotte's shop where you were spoiled for choice in the sweetie department, the ha'penny caramels melted in yer mouth. I made a swing out of a clothes rope and banged me head swinging around the pole. I could go on. Some people now might remember... Read more
The Happy Days
To Mary Muir, I remember you very well. Those were the days. I started school then in February aged 4 and a half years old. I remember all my teachers. I wonder if these names ring a bell, Miss Todd, Miss Taylor, Miss Cuthbert, Mrs Watson, Mrs McCauly, she used to wet her breeks, and Miss Venters. Mckennas chip shop was where we got a poke of chips for some newspapers. I was too small to see over the counter, but these chips were awfly good. Do you remember the slacky hill and Chaws shop where if you asked for an apple she would spit on it to give it a shine? The smell of fire lighters in her shop, it was stinking. I even remember some of the neighbours down Mungall Street. Nowadays you're no safe to leave your door open and then your neighbour was your neighbour. Do you remember chappin some bricks to get money for the pictures, half crown a hundred. The police on the beat,... Read more
