NORMAN, L

26 Tacket Street, Ipswich
KI1909, KI1910, KI1912, KI1913, KI1914, KI1915, KI1918

See also Leonard and Louis Norman, below. Earlier ‘L Norman’ entries would appear to refer to Louis and later entries to Leonard. The entries for 1913-1915 could refer to either.

NORMAN, Leonard

26 Tacket Street, Ipswich
KS1916

See also L Norman, above. David Gobbett gives his lifespan as 1864-1937, and reports that his son, John White Norman, also became a photographer at 2 The Walk, Ipswich. See also Brett Payne's notes on Leonard Norman.

NORMAN, Louis

26 Tacket Street, Ipswich
KS1908, KS1912

Successor to the International Art Company (q.v.) at the Tackett Street studio. See also L Norman, above.

Needham Market
KS1883, KS1888, WS1892, KS1892

OGLESBY, Samuel

Oglesby was an itinerant photographer who was active in the Eastern counties in the 1850s, as well as possibly working for a time in the North. Heathcote relates that he set up a temporary studio in Bury at some time between 1856 and 1858. He eventually settled in Llandudno in the 1860s.

OVERTON, Walter G

High Street, Saxmundham
KS1900,TC1901, KS1904, KS1908, KS1912, AS1916

Gainsborough Road,Sudbury
TC1901

PATLEY, Walter

12 St Matthew Street, Ipswich
SI1894

Believed to be a misprint for Walter Batley (q.v.).

PAYNE, Mr

He could be the same as Henry Payne, below. According to an advertisement found by David Gobbitt in the 'Bury and Norwich Post', 3rd December 1867, J W Clarke (q.v.) had just 'secured the services of Mr Payne, from Baker Street, London'. The partnership of Clarke and Wallace having recently ended, Clarke was evidently in need of a further pair of experienced hands. No record has yet been found of Payne operating under his own name in London, so he had probably been working for someone else. (The most famous Baker Street studio, in business since 1863, was Elliott & Fry.)

PAYNE, Henry

Mill Hill, Newmarket
WS1874

Mill Hill Square, Newmarket
KC1875

PENNEY, Walter

Foxhall Road, Ipswich
KS1896, KS1900

174 Foxhall Road, Ipswich

PENNEY, William

3 Oriand Terrace, Foxhall Road, Ipswich
KI1894

PETTIT, Charles William

Higham
KS1892, KS1896

PIPER, John Dixon

24 Silent Street, Ipswich
HS1864, KS1865

Listed under photographers, but described in both directories as ‘(landscape & architectural)’. According to a report found by David Gobbitt in 'The Ipswich Journal', Piper was interested in photography from its earliest days. He became the first president of the Ipswich Photographic Association in 1888, and addressed its first monthly meeting on the history of photography.

POLL Brothers

93 High Street, Gorleston
KN1904, IDT1906/7

Note: Gorleston was a Suffolk parish until the early 1800s when it became a part of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. We have therefore included Gorleston photographers in both county listings.

PORTER & Cann

Itinerants listed by Heathcote. They took a studio at 14 Corn Hill, Bury, from May to August 1854, and at Newmarket, address unknown, in August 1854.

PORTER, John P

Bungay Road, Halesworth
KS1865, MS1868, KS1869, HS1873, WS1874, KS1875, KS1879

Quay Street, Halesworth
WS1885

Station Road, Halesworth
WS1885

Described as shopkeeper as well as photographer in MS1868 and HS1873. The WS1885 entries are separate, so could be an indication of two practitioners rather than just one practitioner with two studios.

PORTER, Joseph

Leiston
KS1883, WS1885

POTTER, Joseph William

51 Burrell Road, Ipswich
KI1912, KS1912, KS1916

PRATT, Mrs A

45 Norwich Road, Ipswich
KS1908, KS1912, KI1912, KI1913, KI1914

4 Granville Street, Ipswich
KI1909, KI1910, KI1912, KI1913, KI1914

45a Norwich Road, Ipswich
AS1916

She is referred to as ‘Madame Pratt’ in KI1912-14 and AS1916.

RALPH, Benjamin

19 London Road South, Lowestoft
WS1885

RANDALL, H A

East Bergholt
TC1901, IDT1906/7, KS1908

RAYNER, George

Hoxne
KS1865, MS1868, KS1869, WS1874

Cross Street, Hoxne
KS1904

Low Street, Hoxne
KS1912, KS1916

He is described as ‘corn chandler, flour dealer and photographer’ in MS1868 and appears as G(eorge) Rayner junior until 1874. The 30-year gap between 1874 and 1904 may well be an indication of two practitioners.

REED, William

Reed has not been found in trade directories, but (according to LJ/IR) he ran a studio at 2 Pier Terrace, Lowestoft, before it was taken over by William Bevan in 1874.

REEVE, William Hastings

High Street, Saxmundham
MS1868, KS1869, WS1874, KS1879, KS1883, WS1885, KS1888, KS1892

Saxmundham
WS1892, KS1896, KS1900

Appears in MS1868 as ‘photographer & fancy repository’. MS1868 KS1869, WS1874, WS1885 and KS1888 refer to William Reeve; KS1879 and KS1883 refer to Hastings Reeve; KS1892, WS1892, KS1896 and KS1900 refer to William Hastings Reeve. It seems possible that more than one practitioner could be represented here.

REYNOLDS, Joshua

East Bergholt
WS1892, KS1892

REYNOLDS, William A

London Road, Lowestoft
HN1863, HS1864, KS1865, MS1868, KS1869

Arnold Street, London Road, Lowestoft
HN1868

A ‘Reynolds of Lowestoft’ carte survives with '1862' handwritten on the back. At that time his cartes were priced at 6/- per dozen. He is described as ‘artist & photographer’ in HS1863 and HN1864. His advertisement in HS1863 reads: ‘Before you have your Portrait taken, pay a visit to Reynolds' Photographic Saloon ... and inspect the Specimens which will be found the Best and Cheapest Photographs Either on Glass or Paper, that have yet been placed before the public, including the much admired Carte de Visites. Mr Reynolds still continues to produce those works of art in Coloured Photographs, which for artistic merit, brilliancy, and durability, stand unrivalled.’

ROBINSON, Frederick J

Victoria Terrace, Lowestoft
KS1883

Kirkley, Lowestoft
WS1885

ROBINSON, George L

Stowupland Road, Stowmarket
KS1904, KS1908

ROE, Joseph

24 Tacket Street, Ipswich
HS1864

17 Tacket Street, Ipswich
MS1868

ROGERS & Chapman

London Road, Lowestoft
KS1858

The studio is referred to as having recently opened in an advertisement in 'The Norfolk News', 6th June 1857. The partners had evidently given it up by 28th February 1860, when it was damaged in a hurricane and referred to, in a subsequent 'Ipswich Journal' report, as 'the photographic studio, late of Messrs Rogers and Chapman'.

ROLLETT, H

Wrentham
KS1900, KS1904, KS1912

High Street & London Road, Wrentham
