Old Photograph Clock Tower Aberhill Methil Fife Scotland

Old photograph of a horse and carriage and people by the clock tower in Aberhill, Methil, Fife, Scotland. The view at the Aberhill end of Wellesley Road shows the distinctive clock tower of the Tower Bar which dates from 1906. The tower is closely based on the early 18th century tolbooth at West Wemyss. The Burgh of Buckhaven and Methil was permanently unified by the construction of Wellesley Road in the 1900s. Named after Lady Eva Wellesley, the second wife of the local laird, Randolph Erskine Wemyss, it provided a broad highway between Muiredge and Leven.
