Old Photograph Bucklemaker Wynd Dundee Scotland

Old photograph of shops, houses and horse in Bucklemaker Wynd in Dundee, Scotland. Bucklemakers were a branch of the Hammermen Trade. The work done by these craftsmen included the making of buckles of all kinds, for saddlery, for sword belts, and for every kind of buckle used in war and in peace. A Wynd is typically a narrow lane between houses. The name is frequently encountered in towns and villages in Scotland and Northern England. The word derives from Old Norse venda, implying a turning off a main street.
