Kirkcaldy - Links Street Demolition and New Building (c.1956/1957)
*The watermark is for internet copyright purposes only and will not appear on the purchased printLinktown - the area around Links Street - was centred around industrial activity related to the linen and linoleum industries and the housing dating from the first half of the 19th Century, although there had been some redevelopment in the 1930s, was again in poor repair by the 1950s. The answer was a programme of radical demolition and reconstruction. This picture shows both demolition and in the background the new 8-storey flats on the Esplanade under construction. The date is probably 1956 or 1957.
