Old Photographs The Lodberries Lerwick Shetland Islands Scotland

Old photograph of The Lodberries in Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland. The lodberries, houses with their own piers, projecting out into the harbour were constructed to meet the needs of the prosperous expanding fishing and commercial trade period of the latter half of the 18th century and first half of the 19th century. Harbour improvements in the final quarter century of the 1800s ended their commercial usefulness.
