LETHAM, FIFE

Letham is a long single-sided street lined with estate cottages ('The Row'), at one time for weavers, but probably reconstructed in the later 19th century as the masonry looks newer and repeats large bipartite windows. Opposite a saddler’s is a hand pump by Steele’s Cupar Foundry that was

used to top up a water trough as well as to meet human needs. Note that another Letham exists in Angus, larger, less uniform, but also largely

inhabited by weavers.
