Hi Jan and Debbie The question of photographers archives comes up from time to time, I have never come across any archives that have survived in a searchable sense. You can often work out the period a photographer was working by checking the census and trade directories but aside of that I doubt theres much mileage in it. Its a sad fact that there are many thousands of photo's out there in peoples possession that will most likely remain anonymous (including my own). For Debbie A google search for "VERITYS LIMITED" finds a few hits, some for Aston which you may find lead you somewhere. There may be works records at the Records Office that would deal with Aston Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > I've not seen any responses to your question about the photos > and their photographers.
