Thanks so much for this!
Yes he was living at the Nags Head in 1861Newbury. Not sure if he was operating the business from here but that was the census entry.

Thanks so much for this - really interesting. I had no idea what Blackets guide was so very helpful!
The reason why I posted this question was West Berkshire Museum kindly sent me some information from 'A Directory of Photographers Newbury and District 1854 - 1945"
In that extract the pamphlet makes reference to Blackets guide as a way of sourcing the order of photographers in Newbury. It mentions the first Photographer as Joseph Hopson. It then mentions John Fry as starting his business in 1863. However, the census clearly states Fry is operating in 1861. So I was wondering where the author got their information from.
I am particularly looking into Fry - are you aware if any other sources I could research him in? As only found him in the census. Would love to know how P.Cannon found him in 1863. Or if you have any other suggestions of where to find him?

Good morning,
I am researching photographers from Newbury who worked in 1860s.
I wondered if anyone had a copy of Blackets Guide (maybe directory)?
It would be most appreciated if you could share a copy of this or transcript of photographers that worked in Newbury.
