Hi :)
I'm just going through some old pictures,
maybe some one know's the answer to this question,
on the back of this one , Walter Fisher, 5 Cliff tarrace, Filey,
I saw on line that in 1878 he was in the bankrupcy court in London,
but in 1891 he was at another adress in Filey,
my question , can anyone nail down the time my pic would have been taken.

a bout to loose the plot, printer will not do as instructed >:( :)

Hi Eilleen,his studio was at 5 Cliff Terrace on the 1881 census.Different address 10 years later.Does the back look like this.

Hi Seoras :)
Yes that is the same back as mine ,
the front has no frills attached , i.e just a photo of ladies head and shoulders the background nothing .

This one has been dated as 1880s so would think perhaps yours is from around the same time.Can you post the front on here.

:)
I cannot at the moment my new all singing all dancing scanner\printer ,
has decided it's time for a sesta, and gone to sleep ::)
I think the picture is of Maria Bint , who's daughter Marie/ Mary ? Bint got married in Scarborough in 1881, I think she went up the road and had her picture taken :) long shot I know, but the rest of the time the woman lived in Worchestershire :)
Eilleen,

Walter Fisher's studio at 5 Cliff Terrace. Part of a long terrace of buildings on a street, now known simply as Belle Vue Street, Filey. The second photo is his purpose built studio, which followed. I'm not yet able to pin down exact dates.
