whiskin Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Anyone help with identifying the gentleman on the left of these 2 pics -- the one on the right looks as if he is foreign? It may be anytime between 1910-1930 -- I really don't know. It is at a fish sale on the Esplanade, Lerwick http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo297/chatelaine79/esplanade003.jpg http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo297/chatelaine79/esplanade001.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Is that the old esplanade toilets (about to be replaced with the new toilets in Harbour House yard) in the back of the top photo? Don't think i've ever seen a photo of them before. Thats Victoria Buildings and Harbour House in the lower photo at a different angle, so it could be.

It was some of the old postcards and photos that my Father collected years ago. But even after scanning them in I could not see who had taking the photos. There is one of Scalloway from the 1800s and a photo of a painting from about the same time as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Para Handy,The Scord Quarry was started in the early 1930s. I think I've heard September 1932, but I believe that may have just been the date that the permission was given, or the land was acquired..

Heimdal Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Some more photos I need help with! No.1 I thought was in Lerwick but now not so sure as can't quite place where its at, girl on right is Margaret Hunter from Hillswick taken around 1940, does anyone know the other two? No. 2 is in Lerwick, year and people unknown -- any ideas? No.1The house, top right, is pretty distinctive and does not look like Lerwick to me. No.2There is a sign on the building behind the group which might give a clue as to the location if it could be scanned at a high enough resolution to be legible. The location might help to identify the people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooks Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I was thinking that No.1 did look a bit like da toon. Burgh Road or someplace similar. Walls seem a bit high though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Auld Rasmie that is about the time scale that someone else said and I quote " Just before WWII" And all who could have said are now all but gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
