Fife’s Art Deco Heritage 11: Methil
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco, Fife at 12:00 pm on 2 February 2013
Methil is one of those post-industrial towns which now litter Scotland. There is still some shipbuilding/oil related work going on there but, like most of Fife, Methil is somewhat down on its luck.
It does have Art Deco though. This building is on Wellesley Road. The red paint is the main deco feature as the eyes have been poked out.
Just along from it there is this pub on a corner, now looking for a new owner, which has deco detailing to the roofline.

The building (Budget Micro) was commissioned by my mum as a hairdressers (Jean R Spinks) with the family house above in the late 40s

Wow! Imagine commissioning an Art Deco building.
