Can You Help?<br />
Does anyone know a photographer who lived on Station<br />
Street sometime probably in the early 20th century?<br />
We have recently acquired a camera with lenses,<br />
filters and a collection of glass plates and other<br />
negatives of several churches; designs of furniture<br />
and ceilings; a gentleman called Kenneth, a Mr<br />
J.B. Finnie and Mr Keith E.Gibbs – joint directors of<br />
Campbell Smith & Co.Ltd.<br />
These were found in the house when the current<br />
owner moved in.<br />
Fascinating stuff – but can anyone give us any clues as to<br />
who the photographer or his subjects might have been?<br />

We are currently auditing our whole artefact collection<br />
