  1. #1

    Default Photo of hump backed bridge over Forss River

    Does anyone have a photo of the very old hump backed bridge over Forss River not far from the Dounreay road near Lythmore?
    Many thanks.

    Hi

    Is this what you're looking for, taken a good few years ago.

    The Old Bridge at Forss.

    I've just finished building a new website containing photographs from the Johnston Collection, and for the first time members of the public will be able to search for images on the database.

    Have a wee peep at these.

    The site's just about finished now save a few tweeks, but the official launch will probably be next Friday. Well worth a look if you're interested in such things.

    Fantastic, and I have just started. I know I will be spending a lot of time going through all the great old photos.
    Many thanks to all those involved in making this a reality.

    Thank you so much nirofo for the photo - it is just what I am looking for. Has anyone got any photos of Rory`s Mill which was also known as Knockglass mill at Westfield? It burnt down over 120 years ago so any info would be gratefully received.

    Fantastic website. Well done. Am I right in thinking the herring oil factory is now Hugh Simpson's?
    A 1991 Gallup survey indicated that 49 percent of Americans didn't know that white bread is made from wheat.

    Thanks for all the positive comments people. It's nice to see people enjoying it after all the hard work. More and more images will be added as they become available.
