More about this scene
These cottages at Newhaven, Fife, are an example of the type of fishermen's dwelling that could be found around harbours from Scotland to at least Cullercoats in Northumbria, usually single-storey terraces with slate or stone roofing. On the west coast of England, the old fishing communities tended to be housed in cottages with thatched roofs. At Newhaven the fishermen's wives were noted for the way they dressed, which was said to reflect the community's Dutch and Scandinavian origins.
