With the first phase of building at Bonfield Park, completed in 1957,

fifteen more houses were built, and the second phase has brought the total

number of houses at Bonfield Park up to thirty-six.

Some of the spaces between houses have been built on within the past

few years, and The Men’s Club on Main Street, The Youth House on Bonfield,

and the old Free Church School on Lower Main Street have all been renovated

recently.

Strathkinness is a blend of houses containing houses of the 19th century

interspersed with newer ones and council houses well designed to fit in with

the earlier houses. The two crescents of houses also fit in a small rural village.

It was not until after the two crescents of houses were built that houses

had numbers on them. Names of houses were changed, moved from one place

to another, or there could be more than one similar name in the village, so

when the Post Office decided all houses should be numbered some of the

confusion was removed.
