Sevenoaks Photographers
My interest in taking photographs led to an interest in some historical aspects of photography, including early local photographers. Over the years I've found a few old pictures taken by professional photographers based in Sevenoaks in Kent and the surrounding area. This hasn't turned into a fanatical search, really just picking them up when spotting them.
Sevenoaks supported a number of photographers in the 19th century, including
- R Wicks of St John's Photography Gallery
- W E Wallis of 74 High Street (also Wallis & Barton at same address)
- Cranbourne Photo Co Ltd, 74 High Street
- T H Challis, St John's Studio
- Charles Essenhigh Corke, 39 London Road (also known as St John's Studio)
- H G Inskipp, High Street
Some examples of their work can be found on the following pages
