I miss the old high street and it’s wee shops. Progress is wonderful though….apparently.
Used to love popping in Graftons to check out the fashion jewelry
My mum worked here and in one of the other shops belonging to Morrison group – Slendos where the information centre is now. They also owned Just Pants Plus two doors up.
So sad Dunfermline is so neglected looking, was a beautiful town when I was young .
I was there a couple of weeks ago. I much prefer remembering it like this.
It was DCI when I was wee. Dicks Cooperative Institute I think. My Mum was a member.
I bought my first long dress there in the early 70s when I was 13 for a party I was going to..it was crimplene, airforce blue, with an elasticated bodice which had rosebuds sewn in. Then a few years later I’m sure I went in there to buy a red polka dot dress
Yes if you had a ‘date’ it was the place to meet and when your bus came up the New Row you could check to make sure he was there!
Remember it well. Plenty of hustle and bustle in that shot. Not always the case these days.
Good chance I am in this photo. I loved my first 12 years of life being a Dunfermline lad.
Remember it well.
Aw Kerry Mcgrath look what came up on my news feed , spooky !! graftons it was call xx
Always stood on the corner to see if the Town hill or Beaty Place bus came up the New Row first then ran to the bus stop.
I remember buying my first raincoat and a lace skirt and wearing them to the roadhouse where everybody went on a Saturday night!
Your mum used to work there as a window dresser Claire Jardine and she lived above it in the flats on Bonnar street we lived opposite at no. 12 a long time ago. Xxx
I remember it well. The High Street in Dunfermline was brilliant then. My pal worked in Graftons in the years leading up to it closing.
It may be late 60s or early 70s when this was taken. No Entry signs used to literally have the words “No Entry” on them and then they changed to having the blank space in the middle as can be seen in this photo.
I left in 1958 but used to go up the NewRow then look around the shops then the Glen and Abbey then feed the squirrels Then back to Woodmill. Only 11 when I left but loved growing up there.
i left school at 15 yrs and went for interview to graftons in my school uniform and got the job as junior windowdresser 1960.s
Remember shopping here for shirts that looked like Simon shirts during the 70s.
Can anyone remember stay pressed skirts, there was a shop near the glen gates that used to sell them.
Remember it well bought all my clothes there it was a beautiful shop was very sad when it closed down this was when dunfermline was at its best it’s not the same now
