Old photograph of Newport-on-Tay across from
Dundee,
Scotland. This Scottish town was established near the endpoint of one part of a ferry route that itself was started in the 12th century. In 1715 a new pier and inn were built, the work being funded by the Guilds of Dundee. Thomas Telford built a new harbour in the 1820s, and the town expanded and grew into a commuter suburb of Dundee as the prosperous jute manufacturers, industrialists and the middle and upper working class of Dundee established fashionable residences in Newport. Newport-on-Tay formerly had two railway stations the East and West stations. Both stations, and the Tayport-Dundee branch line, closed in 1969, having lost much of their business following the opening of the Tay Road Bridge in 1966.
