Harray Stores

Harray Stores

R. Garden Ltd employees at the Harray Stores in the 1930s. Jane Harris may find this interesting as it shows two of her Sclater relations also in picture #24870.

Back row, left to right: Celia Sclater, Barbara Sclater, James Flett (my grandfather);

front row, left to right: "Sperax" the dog, Jim Cromarty, Pam Flett (later Sutherland, my mother), Oliver Laughton, Bob Delday.

I think Jim Cromarty drove for Gardens in Kirkwall, but the others were at Harray. One day, possibly around this time, my mother came upon a bucket of tar and a brush and thought it would be fun to paint poor Sperax with it. What my grandmother did when she found out may be imagined! Date estimated. [1935]
