Valleyfield centenary booklet launched

A booklet looking at the history of High Valleyfield and some of the events and residents who have helped shape the village over the past 100 years has been launched.

The launch was held at High Valleyfield Sports and Recreation Club and was attended by villagers and guests - among them Fife's Deputy Provost, Liz Mogg and local councillors.

High Valleyfield Centenary Committee commissioned the booklet, which includes coverage of last year's main celebrations to mark the 100-year milestone.

A large part of the publication features interviews with former miners who worked at Valleyfield Colliery, as well as other residents recalling their life in the village.

There are articles on the history of Valleyfield Estate, the village's snowdrop festival, Preston Island, St Serf's Primary School and the popular Sports and Recreation Club.

The booklet was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
