EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of Advert, Allan & Dey, the renowned fish merchants of Aberdeen, Scotland, taken in 1905. The image captures the bustling activity of the industrial heart of the city, where fish was transformed from fresh catch to cured delicacies. The oval-shaped sign of Allan & Dey proudly hangs above the entrance of the factory, its black letters bold against the brickwork. Smoke billows from the chimneys, a testament to the hard work and energy required to produce the company's sought-after smoked haddock and herring. The men in the photograph, dressed in heavy coats and caps, work diligently inside, their faces focused on the task at hand. The scene is a snapshot of the Scottish fishing industry during the Edwardian era, a time of innovation and growth. The trade in fish was a significant part of Aberdeen's economy, and companies like Allan & Dey were at the forefront of the industry. The fish merchants' reputation for quality products reached far and wide, making their brand a coveted souvenir for visitors to Scotland. This photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a tribute to the hardworking men and women who contributed to Aberdeen's thriving fish trade. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history of Scotland's industrial past and the important role that the fishing industry played in shaping the country's identity.
