Mitchell Georgeson

As well as a keen film-maker, Mitchell Georgeson was a well established businessman in Shetland. He was part-owner of ‘Georgeson and Moore’ (Scalloway) and also owned a bakery and shop in Clairmont Place, Lerwick trading under ‘M and R Georgeson.’

The films in his collection offer a fascinating insight into 1950s life in Shetland, including brief shots of Prince Philip visiting in 1953 and a rare aerial view of the islands!
