These images provided by Colin Crews provide us with a rich perspective on the working conditions of the Scots female herring gutters. We are taken right into the heart of the work task in a very tangible manner.

If you have any information on the herring lassies that you would like to share on the web, either on Lowestoft or elsewhere, please do get in contact.
