EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling quayside of Great Yarmouth in 1936. A group of spirited Scottish Herring Girls, donned in their traditional work attire, link arms as they make their way to the day's laborious task of gutting and barrelling fish. Their aprons stained with scales and hands calloused from years of hard work, these resilient women were an integral part of the fishing industry during this era. With determination etched on their faces, they embody the strength and tenacity required for such demanding work. Despite the arduous nature of their job, there is a sense of camaraderie among them that shines through in this image. Their happy smiles and linked arms speak volumes about the bonds formed amidst long hours spent together on the quayside. Head scarves tightly secured around their heads protect them from both wind and sea spray while adding a touch of femininity to their rugged appearance. The sturdy boots and wellies worn by these fisherwomen are a testament to their resilience against harsh weather conditions. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder not only of Great Yarmouth's rich fishing history but also pays homage to these remarkable women who played an essential role in sustaining this coastal community.
