Looking back: Leven Promenade

And it’s full of fascinating detail – from the boy showing off his bike, and the young beau and the girl with bows in her hair, to the old lady in the large hat, sat on a bench.

What is also surprising is what isn’t in the picture – no putting green; no Beach Pavilion.

Particularly intriguing is the stretch of white on what, then as now, was Leven Links golf course.

A tented encampment? Was it where, in those days, the entire town hung out their washing to dry? Or is it simply a passing steam train’s stretching plume of smoke?
