Inverkeithing in the 1830s

by linda temple 8 July, 2012

If anyone is curious about the town and its people in the 1830s the following link is to a downloadable free book written by a resident of that time.  The detail is quite astonishing as he describes the whole area, his life as a child and mentions a number of people by name.

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
