In the 1950s there was a Stuart's the Baker on Leven Road Lundin Links, a little further east than its current location. This earlier 'Stuart's' branch was situated adjacent to the Post Office in a premises that had earlier been occupied by the National Bank of Scotland and Jean Spinks Hairdresser. The shop would later become a hairdresser again (and still is today).
Above is a 1957 advert for the festive season (25 December Leven Mail) which notes that a Miss Brooksbank is in charge at the Lundin Links branch. This was, I believe, Jeanie Brooksbank who was daughter of a Leven plasterer. Perhaps some folks remember her and/or the shop from the 1950s?
Further below are a couple of Christmas ads from 1957 and 1953, followed by one from 1954 advertising the promise of Spring (as early as 13 January) and talking of lengthening days and the return of crocuses and daffodils. Finally, furthest below is a 4 February 1959 feature on wedding cakes, which was part of a wider page in the Leven Mail about weddings (rings, photographers, wedding gifts, etc).
