Boston's Herring Yard and Berwick Sailing Club
Heritage Open Day: Boston Brothers ran a successful herring yard in Spittal until the early 1900s. There the women would gut the herring ready for smoking and pickling. Now Berwick Sailing Club, see what remains and also find out about the Sailing Club today. The Herring Fishing Industry was very important in Spittal, providing work for both men and women. Often the women would follow the fleet from Aberdeen to Great Yarmouth, stopping at various ports en route. They were very skilled workers at preparing the herring for smoking or pickling. The original shutters for delivering the herring to the yards are still visible outside. Not much remains inside but come along and see a slide show of local images of this industry which has now disappeared.
Berwick Sailing Club has operated from this site for many years and continue the tradition of it having a connection with the sea. This is also your opportunity to find out more about the Club and what it does today.
