My great grandmother on my father's side,in the centre of the picture,with some of her daughters and a couple of grandchildren,taken around 1925 probably in Victoria Street known locally as "The Cat's Row" no doubt called that for the amount of moggies that would be on the go feeding on what was left after baiting the lines. Quite a number of the fishing families in Dunbar came from her sons and daughters (Marr,Johnstone,Brunton,Graham to mention only a few) Robert George Brunton,the younger laddie there,was lifeboat cox in the 60s.and 70s.His mother Annie is second from the right.
great pic-cracking piece of history.
nice stripey knitted tie, I had one jusst like it.
What's this fishery officers tag, that's not very nice but funny.
What a fantastic picture. I'm guessing Granny would be the back bone?

not often you see old photy's where they look like they're enjoying themselves
mind you that young un looks a right worky ticket!!

I don't suppose life would have been all bad even back then Mark,but it sure wouldnae have been a bed of roses,must have been gey hard at times.There's one thing though,they didnae envy their neighbours,there was nae need to,everybody in that street had the same...nowt
Great old photo Ronnie
Hi Ronnie
Do you know if the Brunton side of your family has any connection with the Brunton fishing family from Cullercoats?
