OH please trinkie, I would so like to see some pics of wick and wickers from the olden days. I love the Thurso ones.

I just wanted to highlight this one from the link jimbews posted above because its truly a fantastic photo, well to me it is anyway
Some great photos in from Mr Bews... many thanks.
I remember your father well - and a lovely man he was too.
Mr Caldwell of Wick Junior Choir fame is among them and many other faces I remember.
How many of the young Boys Brigade are still around and looking into caithness.org I wonder?
Great pictures.

It's my father that's MR Bews
I'm still just ee meenester's son!
He and Mum are still on the go and met up with a number of Wickers a couple of weeks ago at the sad occasion of Margaret Youngson's (Budge) funeral.
Nothing more recent, but here he is a couple of years ago:

Anyone know of any photos of the houses that used to be at Wick airport in the early 1960's?
Love all the old pics of Wick, being an "oldie" I found it quite nostalgic.
Imagine my surprise when I saw my Mum's photo in the Herring Quines picture of south view 7s. I am sure it was Sinclairs Yard of Lower Poultney(used to be near the saw mill and beside the old boat yard) to the right of the Service bridge if my old memory serves me right. I was just so pleased to see her.
Thank you all so much for the pictures. So lovely to look back.
