Hi Bob

One last thing (off topic) - I notice your interests, and here is the website and book I find very useful for Sussex/Brighton - very early moving pictures - 1896:

Lots of info
https://www.photohistory-sussex.co.uk/index.htm

https://www.brightonfilm.com/

Info-rich, compendium book by David Fisher
https://www.brightonfilm.com/cinema-by-sea/index.htm

(Esme Collings filmed the world's first blue movie in Hove.)

Brilliant 30 minute 1960 TV programme. (Wrong link initially)

Me again
One more thing - link to Alamy library image with information, taken of All Saints Church Malden "Photographed by Hazeltine Frost, Glendale Studio, Maldon"

https://www.alamy.com/towns-of-new-england-and-old-england-ireland-and-scotland-connecting-links-between-cities-and-towns-of-new-england-and-those-of-the-same-name-in-england-ireland-and-scotland-containing-narratives-descriptions-and-many-views-some-done-from-old-prints-also-much-matter-pertaining-to-the-founders-and-settlers-of-new-england-and-to-their-memorials-on-both-sides-of-the-atlantic-malden-massachusetts-117-photographed-by-hazeltine-frost-glendale-studio-maldon-kindness-ian-forbes-robertson-esq-all-saints-church-maldon-essex-england-in-the-graveyard-of-this-church-ue-the-remains-of-image338384497.html

Gives a business name and a studio name. Hope these physical items are of interest.

Hi There
I'm a newbie to this site. I'm interested in researching my family (my name Archive Jack is a joke with my cousin), and also early film-making in Hove.
I have a copy of a family photo, taken around 1903 (from the apparent ages of the children in it and the knowledge of their birth years). I was researching it and came across this thread. I don't know if this info is useful or new to you - it's nothing to do with Maldon, but here goes:
The reason I came across your thread is that the name on the photo frame is:
Hazeltine Frost - and the address is: 1, Princes Avenue, 72, Royal Parade, Muswell Hill, N. (see attachment if I've done  it right!)
I'd be confident that the name reflects either or both a marriage and a business partnership - and that they had more than one studio - with the Malden one run by a manager, hence no record of a Hazeltine living in Malden?
(My particular interest, Esme Collings, had up to 5 studios in different places, and partnerships with various people over time, including William Frieze-Green.)
There is a website I found for London photographers - but I'm afraid I couldn't find Hazeltine in it - https://www.photolondon.org.uk - and the contact page seems not to be working. I did find a similar directory for the whole of the UK but stupidly forgot to note it down.
Best wishes!
