you can see divitos in crossgates on the left very clearly but i cant see in the clip any evidence of my great grandfathers business ( crossgates fruit and potatoe merchants ) was very interested to find this on here though

Which car boot sale did you pick this up from? I'd be really curious to know. Cheers!

@anneholiday it was the greenside one in edinburgh

About 1 minute 1 it's through Crossgates, then direction Cowdenbeath. The wee white buildigs were pig-pens IIRC Down into Cowdenbeath, The Miners' Training School on the left and the Institute on the right, Leaving the town,from 4 minutes on looks like from Lumphinnans Road towards Lochgelly.

@5.20 is that the new school in Lochgelly?

What a terrific Find BBC or STV would love to show that all over

[Bleubrazil]

4.06 is taken from the old Beath High in Stenhouse Street and shows Central Park and the surrounding waste ground where the No 7 pit was located

Excellent! Starts S.Queensferry not North. Goes up M90 but then confusingly enters Crossgates by the Dales road from InvKthg (1.00). 1.35 looks twds Hill of Beath. 2.25 - 4.06 is all C'beath. 4.06 to 5.13 I don't recognise. 5.15 looks like Beath Senior High. 5.29 - 5.58 is Berry St area of L'Gelly looking through to Hills of Fife cleaners next old cinema. 6.00 - 6.13 is Bowhill shops in Cardenden. Then Ballingry with the primary school at LHS. Ends looking towards Lurgie gas plant I think

This is an absolutely brilliant and breathtaking film. It has really brought back many memories of times long gone. All the more astonishing in view of the fact that film material at that time was quite expensive. A minimum of 5 stars from me

[JimMollard]

At this time the A92 duel carridgeway did not exist thats why it goes up the M90 then through Crossgates ect

[frankinfife]

Bowhill and Dundonald at the end, Great stuff !!!!!.

[Bleubrazil]

Starts in North Queensferry and then goes through Crossgates to Hill of Beath (White Elephant pub) followed by extensive look at Cowdenbeath High Street (Picture House, Town House, Central Park) a quick scan of flats in Lochgelly and then on to Cardenden finishing in Ballingry (I think)
