Point 11

From the mid-1900s to 2015 this building was used as a doctor’s surgery and was named The Cannon’s. Why is this? Well for many years, the building had two cannons outside! Nobody knows what happened to those cannons now. What do you think happened to them?

On the other side of the road in Methil Ex-servicemen’s Club, originally named the Docker’s Club after the people working on the docks, is still in operation today entertaining the local people with regular events.

And on the opposite corner, the building where the funeral director’s now stands was a store like no other! Named “The Wonder Store” this shop sold everything you can imagine under one roof! Started by a man called William Webster who started off by selling soap from door to door, he established his first shop in 1931. For decades the shop was such a huge success he had to open multiple branches all within Methil. Sadly in 1975 a huge fire devastated the shop and although the shop was reopened within days, sadly the business never fully recovered.
