Banff, 23-25 Castle Street, Employment Office — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Aberdeenshire's oldest recorded jobbroker still stands at 23-25 Castle Street, Banff, its ordinary rooms transformed into a twentieth-century employment office where desperate people waited for lifelines. The building may have begun as a private house before public service claimed it, but no date or personal story has survived to mark that change. It remains a sharp reminder that even the smallest street can hold the weight of regional hardship and the institutions built to answer it.
