Kirkcaldy - Heggie's Wynd (Linktown) - 1950 *The watermark is for internet copyright purposes only and will not appear on the purchased print

By 1950 many parts of the Linktown area of Kirkcaldy were in need of urgent redevelopment. Much of the housing was mid-19th century (or earlier) and of a low standard. During the 1950s the town council agreed a radical programme of reconstruction which saw much demolition and new building. There was no regard for sentimental preservation. This view of Heggie's Wynd from 1950, looking towards the Esplanade, shows the extreme dilapidation of parts of the Linktown area at that time
