Wick, 12-14 Union Street

Mid terrace, 2 storey and attic building. For windows to first floor, three doors (1 panelled, one double-leaf, the other not visible beneath boarding) with rectangular fanlights over, flanked by two windows to ground floor. The double leaf door to 12 suggests part of the building may have operated as a shop/ office.

Doesn't appear on the 1832 Great Reform Act Plan of Wick, but does appear on the 1st edition OS (1;2:500 series) map. The 1872 OS Large Scale Town Plan of Wick shows the building with fish curing yard to rear. Wick grew rapidly through the 19th century to become the largest herring port in Europe.
