Does anyone know if the photographer Stearn of 72 Bridge Street Cambridge was operating in 1852? Thanks Syd Ryder

Hi Syd Don't know about 1852, but it was there in 1896 according to the Kelly's Directory, page 263. Stearn T & Sons, 72 Bridge Street, Cambridge I've had a look at the Slater's Directory for 1850 and there are no photographers listed at all. Seems a bit strange, but the businesses go from Perfumers and Hair Dressers straight to Physicians. There is a Joseph Stearn, 21 King St listed under "Shopkeepers and Dealers in Groceries & Sundries" . Also, 3 Stearn's listed under Tailors (also ropemakers) but no Photographers. Thomas Stearn was still at 72 Bridge Street in 1904, as per the Cambridge Explorer CD. It's listed as Stearn & Sons, photographers. Thomas Stearn Any help ?
