Hello Helen & List I was on duty at Camperdown (Historical Society Inc) Museum yesterday (tuesday) & had a look through photographs & found a photo with 'Walter Sheridan Photographer' studio in the background. The time frame 1910-14 looks about right as the photograph is of a lady (Jemma Pratt) in a carriage in front of the studio. Miss Pratt operated a Private hospital in Camperdown. Walter Sheridan, studio was in Church St Camperdown and the building still stands (somewhat changed). Camperdown Museum holds a wonderfull collection of old photohraphs of the district & it's people. Museum is opened every Tues, Frid, Sun from 2-4pm.
