It's Katterns, isn't it?  I think I remember this from another thread some time ago....

This message gives some dates for the photographer, not sure how accurate they are though, as I can't find anything about them online:

This looks 1890's.The card style indicates this also I believe breast pocket handkerchiefs were an 1890's innovation.The back of the card may give more details.

Thanks to everyone who has viewed this photo and replied.  I know that there was a company called Katterns in Northampton and when looking at the original I can say 100% that this is the correct name.  Sorry, perhaps should have said that I already had that information when I first asked for help with the date.  The photo is 4 and half by 2 and a half inches, but unfortunately is completely blank on the back.  How old do you think the man would be?  Thanks.  Jo
