Directory of Early Photographers in Huntingdonshire, A - G


ALBONE, Ernest

High Street, St Neots
KH 1924

According to Cozens (2), Albone spent some time as manager in James Phillips’ studio before eventually acquiring the business. (Phillips is still shown as running the studio in KN 1920.)

BEATTIE, John

According to Heathcote, Beattie (born in Scotland, c.1820) was an itinerant photographer who worked in the eastern counties of England between 1851 and 1855, before moving to Leicester and, eventually, Bristol. His activities in Norfolk and Suffolk are treated in the relevant studio directories. He set up in business in Huntingdon in 1854.

An advertisement in the Cambridge Chronicle, 22nd July 1854, reads: 'Contrary to Mr Beattie's expectations, his Photographic Rooms continue to be crowded, and his orders so numerous, that he is compelled to Re-open his Rooms and prolong his stay for another fortnight in Huntingdon. Mr Beattie hopes the low price of his Portraits will induce the public to take the opportunity of procuring them. Portraits from 6s. 6d. "They must be seen to be appreciated." - Cambridge Independent Press.'
