A number of photographs of Finlay Brother's premises are held in museum and library collections.  Some of these photographs are fascinating glimpses of the buildings simply captured inadvertantly as part of background street scenes.

Due to copyright or other restrictions, not all of the images are able to be displayed on this website.  However, in most cases, the photographs are still able to be seen in the online catalogues of the museums and libraries that hold the orinial images.

The following links will take you to the entries within the online catalogues that display some of the great photographs of this era:
