Jimmyspike, you will recognise the houses in this picture, you passed them often enough going to the Neuk. The big modern DWP building sits there now and, as I have already said, the National Tyre Co is where the quarry was. I didn't know King was killed at this quarry, I never thought I'd learn something from a North Lodge man   ;D ;D ;D  Will we see you and Jack on the 26th?
