Directory of the Victorian Photographic Studios in Bradford
Hundreds of photographic studios were established in Bradford during the Victorian Era with the Manningham Lane area being one of the most popular locations. Sadly many of the studio buildings didn't survive but some did, an example being the Appleton studio at 58/60 Manningham Lane. As you would expect in any type of business not every business was a success, some failed, whereas a few were very successful enterprises and stayed in business for many years. Quite often these were family concerns with sons and daughters being involved. Sometimes the business was passed down through the family due either a retirement or a death in the family. When James Hertz was killed his wife took over the business, when Albert Sachs died his younger brother Oscar took over and when Thomas Appleton retired his son Richard James Appleton continued the business. When a photographer gave up his studio for one reason or another the studio and all the equipment and most importantly the negatives were often sold on to another photographer. These events were sometimes publicised in the press and it is interesting to look at these as quite often you are able to see a list of all the fixtures and fittings, this was described as the 'stock in trade', see examples in the Albert Sachs story when Albert's studio was sold in 1920 and in the Sarony story when the entire 'stock in trade' was sold by Hobbiss in 1871. Retaining customers and the repeat business which they brought to the studio was obviously very important and that is why holding on to the negatives was so important, reprints could be made, a service which was often advertised on the back of the carte de visites. To assist in this the glass plates were sometimes numbered and details recorded in a day book, the negative number would be written on the back of the carte de visite or cabinet card. Sometimes the sitters name was even written on the backs of the photographs although this is quite rare. Some studio archives still exist from the Victorian Era such as the W W Winter collection at Derby where there are tens of thousands of glass plate negatives, although the day books were lost when there was an appeal for paper during the first world. Also there is a collection of glass plate negatives from the Brunskill studios in Ambleside where records of the sitters do still exist. It has been possible to visit the Winters studio during heritage weekends and if this continues it is certainly well worth a visit.
During the days of the daylight studio, buildings were converted with glass roofs being a popular feature. Due to the very nature of these leaky structures even if the building has survived the glass roof would not have, the roofs would have had to be replaced by a more conventional construction. When a photographer first set up a studio modifications to the buildings would have been required and this required a considerable investment and so it would have made perfect sense for the studios to be passed on from one photographer to another. You will see in this list that some studio addresses appear several times with different photographers taking charge.
Thanks to those who have previously compiled lists of Bradford Photographers, these have been used as a starting point when drawing up the list shown below. See Special Thanks section of this site. Quite a lot of new information has been added in the last five years however it should be noted that this list is not complete and the dates of the studios are approximate. It will be an ongoing task to maintain and modify the list drawing on new information as it comes to light, this should gradually improve its accuracy. Hopefully the list will be useful to anyone trying to date old photos of family members. The start and end dates will be verified where possible by reference to local press advertising and any information that can be gleaned from carte de visites, cabinet cards, magazines and books or information from the descendants of the photographers, some of which have already been in touch. If you have any information on the studios or have photographs which have been dated then do please do get in touch and the best way to do this is via email. stpud2011@gmail.com Thank you.
Where addresses are given and no date has been shown then the information has been gathered from the addresses shown on the back of carte de visites. If an address is underlined then this shows that I have an example from the studio showing the address. Where a hyper link is provided then there is a biography of the Studio/Photographer either on this website or elsewhere. A small sample of the card designs are shown here. Some studios that were in business for many years had adopted quite a number of card designs over the years, and you would think that it would be possible to date the photographs from these, however, this is not always easy. A much simpler way is to use the studio address as an aid to dating the photograph. For more on card design see this page

Artistic Photography. Mr W Keighley Briggs begs to inform his friends and the public, that he will shortly open handsome and spacious Rooms and Galleries at No1 North Parade. Mr W Keighley Briggs's practice for 31 years as a portrait painter eminently qualifies him for the production of first class and artistic photographs, and as his printing establishment is conducted at Harrogate, he will be enabled to produce clear and bright impressions, often quite impossible in the atmosphere of Bradford.

Alfred Megson was also an artist and art dealer operating from 85, Manningham Lane from 1876 to about 1880 and it is possible that the property was renumbered at this point and became No 55. This section of road was at one time referred to as North Parade. From 1884 he also operated from the Swan Arcade where he had various units, 206, 217 and 244 (1888) and later 217 224 and 165.(1902) He also took premises at 29 Market Street Bradford (1902) and 13 Montpellier Parade Harrogate (1901)

1876 - 1881 20 Manningham Lane
1876 - 1881 20 North Parade - Shop. It should be noted that a section of Manningham lane, nearest to Bradford, was being referred to as North Parade and also Manningham Lane. so 20 Manningham Lane and 20 North Parade are the same premises. Presumably to avoid confusion in around 1883 the section of road nearest to Bradford was given the name North Parade and the rest of the road was referred to as just Manningham Lane. As it is now. Properties on Manningham Lane were renumbered so what was 20 Manningham Lane became No 8 Manningham Lane.
