Morning All
I am in the middle of a project that includes the Whaligoe Steps and whilst they are amazing and in a beautiful area they look lethal and for the fisher folk especially the women who used them everyday it must have been quite a feat climbing up and down them in all weathers and with loads on their backs. Is there anyone out there who can tell me whether there were any/many fatalities during the 19th & 20 century herring fishing boom (the period I am writing about)
Hope someone can help
Thanks
