More wonderful pictures !
Very many thanks.
I love the 'Elsie Budge' one - I knew the family, Elsie and her father lived in Bexley Terrace- overlooking the bay.
It's such an atmospheric picture.
I must look out for that book, it's quite a treasure.
Best wishes,
Trinkie
Love the photos. Can anyone give me more info about post 293, Market Street 1925? I see that the Crown Hotel has turned into the Crown Stores, presumably because Wick had gone dry and the family needed to survive? My Grandmother, Elizabeth Houston Campbell (born 1906) was one of the family who owned and ran the Crown but she left Wick in 1923 with her mother (Henrietta Sutherland), brother Sandy and sister Nellie. They came to Edinburgh.
I'd love to know more about what happened in the intervening years and also be delighted to hear from any of the descendants of the family.
