This photographic exhibition features the work of Bedford Lemere & Co, a leading English firm of architectural photographers between 1870 and 1930. Although based in London, the firm photographed extensively in Liverpool and Wirral for a wide range of influential clients.
This exhibition will be produced in partnership with English Heritage, custodians of the Bedford Lemere & Co collection. It will comprise reproduction photographs, made from the firm’s glass plate negatives, as well as objects from the archive. A wide range of Liverpool and Wirral places and people will be featured including Cammell Laird, the Adelphi Hotel and Port Sunlight Village.
