Football team, Shore Street, Anstruther, 1938
Football team, outside the Fishermen's Supply Store, Shore Street, Anstruther, 1938.

Each year, during the winter herring fishing, the fish trade played a football match against the bankers, the proceeds going to local charities. In 1938, the fish trade team won and were paraded on a decorated horse-drawn float with the trophy.
