This image pre-dates the 1914 addition of a road bridge over the Keil Burn at Lower Largo Harbour. Only the wooden footbridge appears in the photograph above. The door at the side of the pier, in front of the Crusoe Hotel's right side, was added in 1888. This new addition to the harbour was reported in the Fife Herald of 26 September 1888, under the headline "Sanitary Improvements" and read...
"The proprietor of Largo Harbour is erecting a very substantial W.C. for the benefit of sailors and fishers frequenting the harbour. The building is at the south corner of the pier. Mr Alexander Williamson is the contractor, and it is estimated to cost about £50."
Below is a closer look at the building then and now. It must have been well-built as it has lasted for over 125 years so far.
