St Clair's Emporium
The building which was the showroom of St Clais emporium, came from Lyness after ww2. The building was the RAF Barrage Balloon Repair Shed from Ore brae. Harry Berry made a plaque for the building giving its history this was placed high on the gable end at the entrance, I wonder if anyone saw it during the demolition?

That is very interesting about the building coming over from Lyness Lewis. I knew Harry Berry but I never noticed the Plaque on the side of the Emporium building!I must have walked past it hundreds of times and never ever saw it !!!
