The road running diagonally from bottom left is now St Clair Street. The one from centre to top centre is Park Road. Lawson Street now runs in front of the former linen factory. The white diagonal lines opposite the factory are linen whitening in the sun on the bleachfields - a common feature of Kirkcaldy at the time.
