I remember Jock Penman directing the traffic,he was priceless.x
Gosh. Remember when the policeman directed the traffic at the top of the New Row.
Aye, the cop at the junction was usually Jock Penman!
Graftons Helen O’Neill. Wasn’t that the shop you ‘put by’ & paid up on that real imitation persianelle (?sp) coat in1965? Loved it & wanted it. The height of fashion.
It’s lovely to see but even more lovely and amazing how people are remembering PC Penman by name as the gentleman who directed the traffic
The ex Greigs of Inverness Guy Arab/Northern Counties BST 171 was one of two transferred when Alexanders took Greigs over. She was normally regarded as a “spare” bus and mainly used on works services
I remember it well ,and got up early of your seat, so you jump of the back of the bus, as the bus stop was round the corner
Remember all the butchers, bakers , on the high street. Spend all day on a Saturday up and down the High street and bridge street, get chips at the stance to eat walking home
Remember it well. Playing Harry Worth at the mirrors at graftons
if you look closer at this photo you will see that the saying, “You wait ages for a bus and then two come along” it very true, but in this case it is three. Two double deckers and a single. Double Decks were common then.
Remember that well. My auntie Jean used to work in Graftons.
Omg I remember running over that policeman’s feet during my driving test. Needless to say I failed that time lol.
I remember shopping at Graftons in the 70s for their shirts that looked like what I think were called Simon shirts, men and women wore them and you could get them in different colours.
We only knew of the policeman as willie fingers , but being young it was a visual identity we caught on to.
John Penman was the policeman who directed traffic for years here.
Is that PC Jock Penman on points duty at the junction of the High Street and the New Row? He was a well known figure in town at one point.
My uncle Jim was a bus driver in Dunfermline for many years and he told us that he had clipped Jock Penman’s toes more than once with his double decker as he headed up Bonnar Street heading for Queen Anne Street.
Ire her when we stood at the corner to see what bus came first to get home to Blair drive
Remember it well and the little grocery shop where we used to go for the ingredients to make our Christmas cake , my uncle worked in Napier’s the shoe repairers on the other corner .
