Victorian photographic studio for sale
If you are looking for a property and a "project", you could become (like us) the owner of a former Victorian photographic studio!The property in question is the former studio of Henry Hayman, at 20A Church Street, Launceston, Cornwall. Hayman had started his business at 20 Church Street in 1866, and in 1880 he moved into 20A which he demolished and rebuilt.

"We have added two XIXth. Century photographic studios in Portugal (Golega and Funchal, Madeira), both of them very well preserved and open as museums of Photography.
In Spain most of surviving studios were built on early XXth. Century. Should…"

It would be good to add a pin for each of those studios to this…"
"Thanks a lot for your interest.
In Spain we have some recognisable daylight studios: two of them still active (both of them in Barcelona, from around 1915-1920), some of them closed (two in Cordoba, as court galleries, from the first years of…"
"Hi,
The group is called Old Photographic Studio Hunt on Facebook."
"Ah, so is that where the studio was? I have to say I love the modern Great Court, so I would cut them a bit of slack. "
"Very sorry to read that. I left the museum in late 1986. Presumably it was demolished as part of the Great Court Scheme."
"That's very good to hear you have been working on a similar project.
So how many Victorian daylight studios do you think have survived in a recognisable form in Spain?
Richard"
"Thank you.
The British Museum blog shows a photo of Fenton's studio in the 1980s, and then says "The studio was continuously used by photographers until the 1960s when it became a graphic art studio, and was demolished in the…"
