    Default 20 Bridge Street

    We have recently opened an ironmongers shop at 20 Bridge Street Wick.

    I have always been fascinated by older buildings and there history, so I would be keen to hear of any stories relating to the previous occupants of these premises, IE Victoria Wines, Mowet’s the draper, and Robertson 20 Man Shop.

    Whist I have been cleaning and tidying the cellar, (which has been blocked off for about fifteen years) I have found more evidence of the Robertson history and James Bain the barber than I have of Mowet’s or Victoria Wines.

    I have had a few people in that worked at the premises in different periods and had some interesting conversations about times gone by, but if anyone has any more history or even photos, I would be delighted to see them.

    I could show you a Jimmy Bain haircut, but it's a bit grown out now.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
