[Printed Prospectus] Memorandum regarding Garden Village Scheme On part of the Burgh Land in Townhill. [Private and Confidential]

3pp., folio, with enclosed printed letter from William Yule, Interim Secretary, one page, fol., and blank forms for prospective shareholders and stockholders, one page, fol. Top edge dusted and chipped, small closed tears on right edge, punch-holes (extracted from file of Easton Gibb material on housing for workers at Rosyth (see my #10028)). A meeting had been held, leading to the suggestion that an Association should be formed> A committee is named, and terms given. The letter from William Yule clarifies the Garden Village (City) thrust, "The objects of the Association are to promote the health and happiness of its members by enabl;ing them to live a country life in close proximity to their work, to provide for the community and example of sound and excellent building, to give tangible proof of the advantages of co-operative ownership ..." Note: Chalkley & Shiach, "Rosyth: Garden City & Dockyard", praise the enlightenment of the Dunfermline Town Council of the time which led to Rosyth Garden City at much the same time as the above. But they don't mention this presaumaby stillborn project, nor have I found any other reference to it.
