Old photograph of houses and people on Back Dykes Street in the village of East Wemyss which is located on the South coast of Fife, Scotland. East Wemyss was traditionally one of several coal mining communities along the south coast of Fife. The pit was its main employer for many years until it was closed in 1967 due to a fire which resulted in the deaths of nine men.
