Fife memories
Kennoway Den
Hi, school holidays down the den consisted of endless hours playing comandoes and building the dam at the Ladies Brig, Eddie Thacker the Mackays, Tommy Johnstone, Gareth Bruce, Shug Torrance, Harry Caulder, Podge Allan, Frogy and Donald Fraser, and many more all joined in hauling shalogies (i.e cut turf the size of carpets to dam up the burn). As soon as we finished, along came the farmer and pulled it down, waste of time because it was built the next day. Anybody remember the swimming trunks that seemed to be made of wool and hung down to your knees when wet. No holidays to Spain or exotic places just seven weeks of fun. Good memories. Jeek!
Kennoway... It's Where I Grew Up.
There's a small collection of memories and information included in my web site at www.an-alien-affair.com
I reckon it's worth a visit as I've included several bits of info' that most people are quite unaware of. Then there's me, of course.
Kennoway is unique and steeped in history that goes back as far as the dawn of christianity, and much, much further. The evidence is in the Den and the surrounding fields.
I'm planning to write a novel based on my own life and experiences, a book that will revive lost memories for many and rekindle the feelings of a forgotten yesteryear. I've already got a title for it... which is, 'The Lampost At No61'. Watch this space.
Childhood
I have lots of memories from old Kennoway Primary and Halfields Secondary Schools from roughly 1956-62. and of old friends George Sneddon, Alan Patterson, Jimmy Hughes, Rab Robertson, Archie & Zander Friel, oops not forgetting Henry Mcliesh. I used to stay in Wellshot Road then Kingsdale Gardens. If anybody still not affected by the Senior Moments and like me just learning this new technolgy look me up on Facebook.
Walks From Methil
I mind o' the days when I would walk from Byron Street up Den Walk past Jordan Terrace, ower the bawbee brig - is it still there? I went tae the shows wi' hauf a croon an' went on everything - we had great days. I have been in England a lot o' years and am 73 noo. A' went to Crossroads School, if anybody minds o' Pat Whelan.
Leven in The 1950's
I was five and lived on Links Road where my father had a grocer's shop. I was able to run down the burn path to the beach to swim in the sea or play in paddling pool. We would go to the summer shows in the Beach pavillion or up to the "go as you please"in Letham Glen. I loved life in Leven although left when I left Buckhaven High School and never lived there again. I do. however visit the town now and still love to walk along the beach to Lundin Links. by Dorothy Millar (nee Maw)
As A Child
My gran stayed in a wee cottage across from Kinears (the grocer), used to play rounders at auld beenie Aggie's front door. Play areas were the lintholes, the wells green, the mear, swam in the summer after building a dam at the bridge over the back burn. Other gran / grandad owned the ice cream shop on the corner at Windygates (bottom galles )...want to know more?
My Childhood
You caught newts in the reservoir, just off Greig Park....down at the trenches....apples and pears in the berries...an old garden down Haughmill Lane...who remembers the barrel bridge....and the tennis courts?
