Fishermen's houses, Barrogill Street.
This is an example of the housing built in Pultneytown in the mid and late 19th century to house families engaged in the herring fishing and associated trades. This view shows the types of houses characteristic of the model town, regular, but by no means uniform. The dark flagstone gives the area a very gloomy character. The houses in Pultneytown offered a range of different sizes and types of accommodation. The buildings seen here were most certainly tenements, with a common close giving access to a number of relatively small flats. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN. '
