Wishing you all a joyful festive season and many happy hours of reading in 2015.
The Stromness Library is now closed for the holidays but will re-open on 5th January 2015 at 2pm.
Just to clarify that we are still in the old library at Hellihole Road for the moment and will give you plenty of warning when we know the date of our move to the new library building at the Pier head.
In our final question of our Advent Quiz we want to take you back to a time before even this library was built and let you see how the view up Hellihole Road looked then.
Question 25
In the photo the two children are standing where the library is now, and the camera is looking up Hellihole Road. The building furthest away with its gable end facing us is no longer standing, having been demolished in 1937, but can you tell us what it was?
(hint - the photo is taken from the book Stromness Late 19th Century Photographs, or if you walk up Hellihole Road there is a plaque marking the place where the building stood.)
So ends our Advent Quiz for 2014, we hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have.
Don't forget to go back and work on any of the questions you might have missed, there is a fabulous prize for the person with the most correct answers.
You have until 31st December to submit your answers as comments below each day's post.
The answers will be published, and the winner announced on 5th January 2015.
Good Luck!
Answer: The Subscription School
