The Black Stairs
Description
In 1803 the British Fisheries Society bought 390 acres on the south side of the the mouth of Wick River. Here Thomas Telford created a new model town, the harbour, and the world's first industrial estate. It is named after Telford's great patron, Sir William Johnstone Pulteney, then Governor of the British Fisheries Society. The Black Steps connected the lower and upper parts of the town and were painted by L S Lowry in 1937.
