The Archives Centre at National Museums Liverpool is currently undertaking a project to catalogue and digitise prints by Stewart Bale Ltd. The project invites BPH readers to stay up to date with the project and discover newly digitised photographs by signing up to our mailing list.
Stewart Bale Ltd was a family run practice specialising in commercial and industrial photography, based in Liverpool from c.1911 to c.1980, with an additional London studio from 1949 to 1970. The quality of Bale’s photography is high and the firm was regarded as one of the best amongst its contemporaries. These photographs are a stunning record of 20th century British architecture, industry, leisure and commerce, including images of factories, shops, cinemas, exhibitions, churches, libraries not only in Liverpool but across the North West and the entire country.
With its eight volunteers hard at work cataloguing and digitising around 4,000 Stewart Bale prints, you can follow progress by subscribing to the newsletter.
