EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a small group of around 2,000 Scottish herring gutters who had travelled to the English port of Great Yarmouth in October 1934 to earn some much-needed income. The herring industry was a significant seasonal trade during the 1930s, particularly in the East Anglian region, and many Scottish workers made the journey south to take part in the harvest. The women in the photograph, dressed in long, waterproof aprons and wearing sturdy wellies or boots, are busy at work gutting the herring that have been caught by the fishermen. Their husbands or male counterparts may have been out at sea or involved in other aspects of the fishing industry. The scene is one of industry and collaboration, with the women working together to process the fish and prepare it for sale. The herring industry was an essential part of the British food supply chain, and the seasonal influx of Scottish workers helped to ensure that the demand for herring was met. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these hardworking women, who played a crucial role in the fishing industry during the 1930s. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of community and cooperation in the face of economic hardship, and the resilience of the working class during a challenging period in history.
