Brett Payne's Victorian & Edwardian Photograph Collection Victorian & Edwardian Photographers & Photographic Studios Home / Studio Index / England / Derbyshire / Derby / Pollard Graham Pollard Graham of Belper, Wirksworth & Derby

Barker Pollard Graham was born c. 1845 in Blackburn, Lancashire. The 1861 Census describes him, at the age of 15, as a bill inspector (clerk) in Birkenhead, Cheshire. In late 1867 Graham married Margaret Charnock, and a son James was born at Southport at around the same time, although his bith was registered under the name James Graham Charnock. In 1871, they were living in North Meols, where Barker was working as an upholsterer, and Margaret as a dressmaker. There is no sign of his wife in subsequent census records, even though he continues to be shown as "married" rather than "widowed" until at least 1901.

Graham moved to Belper in Derbyshire, probably in the late 1870s. An article in The Derby Mercury dated 4 August 1880 mentions a portrait having been taken by "Mr. Pollard Graham." He was shown as "Barker P. Graham" working as a photographer on census night, 3 April 1881. With him at a house in Queen Street were his son "James C. Graham," aged 13, and his brother-in-law Michael Charnock, also described as a photographer. Kelly's Trade Directory for 1881, probably compiled in late 1880, lists "Graham Pollard & Co. gelatine dry plate manufacturers, New rd. Belper." It seems likely that he started off supplying the local studios with stocks of photographic plates, and subsequently opened his own studio. The fairly accurately dated carte de visite photograph of Florence Anthony (born in 1878) shown below appears to be from around this time, i.e. early to mid-1881. A second CDV shown below, of Ann Rebecca Appleby (born in 1866) shows Pollard Graham with studios in Belper and Southport, and may date from the mid-1880s. By mid-1881, however, he was in financial trouble, as a notice in The London Gazette of 21 June 1881 gives notice of "the First General Meeting of the creditors" of "Barker Pollard Graham of Belper ... Photographer and Manufacturer of Photographic Materials, trading as Pollard Graham & Co." An article dated 13 July 1881 in The Derby Mercury reports this "meeting of the creditors of Mr. Barker Pollard Graham, trading as 'Pollard Graham and Co., of Belper,' photographer ... held last week at the office of Mr. W.B. Hextall, solicitor, Derby," which resulted in an agreement to liquidate, and the appointment of a trustee. The Daily News of London carried a report on 17 February 1886 of an appeal in the Supreme Court in the case of the "Derby Photographic Dry Plate Company v. Pollard Graham & Co.," but no details are provided.

The next mention found in trade directories for Pollard Graham is in Kelly's 1887, when the firm was operating from premises in Agard Street, Derby. An advertisement in The Derby Mercury of 2 February 1887 notifies the public of the conversion to and registration of a company, "Pollard Graham and Company, Limited," of the "business of gelatine bromide photographic dry plate manufacturers, carried on by Messrs. Barker Pollard Graham, Arthur Frederick Longdon, W. Elliott Taylor and Arthur John Cox" on 15th January. The shareholders of the new company, all in equal proportions, were the aforementioned Graham, Longdon (a surgical bandage manufacturer), Taylor (an agent) and Cox (a wine and spirit merchant), as well as T.H. Harrison (a chartered accountant from Duffield), F. Longdon and W.H. Goody (both also surgical bandage manufacturers). B.P. Graham was appointed first managing director. A further advertisement in the same newspaper on 6 February offers shares for sale in this company, with applications to be made at 175 Siddals Road.

On 19th March 1890, Derby auctioneers Messrs. J. & W. Heathcote advertised in The Derby Mercury the sale by auction of the "stock-in-trade and working plant, including about 700 lbs. of gelatine, chemicals, photographic apparatus, about 30 cwt. of various papers, string, glass, a large quantity of plate boxes of various sizes, centrifugal copper tanks, Gardener's patent chopping machine, kettles, buckets, bottles, jars, and utensils in trade" of Pollard Graham & Co., Limited, Agard Street, Derby. The same advert appeared in The Birmingham Daily Post on 12 April 1890. It appears that the business had again failed, and a notice of liquidation of "Pollard Graham & Co., Limited, Derwent Dry Plate Works, Agard-street, Derby" appeared in the Mercury three months later on 11 June.

Pollard Graham, however, was still taking portraits, as indicated by an article in the Mercury of 27th August that year, stating "The photograph [of Mr. Richard Ramsay Dinnis, proprietor and editor of The Derbyshire Advertiser] was produced by Mr. Pollard Graham, of Rodney Chambers, and reflected the highest credit upon him." Kelly's trade directory for 1891 shows his studio at Rodney Chambers (or Rodney Yard) in Corn Market, Derby. The census for 5 April 1891, when he was lodging with a grocer in Newland Street, St Werburgh's,Derby, shows him once again as "Barker P. Graham, photographer." By this time, his son James had married and had two children. The son was living, under the name James Graham, in Howard Street, New Normanton, Derby, and showed his profession as "photographic artist." Presumably he was working for his father in the studio at Rodney Chambers.

In October 1892, Pollard Graham displayed some of his prints at an exhibition of the "new gelatino-chloride [photographic] papers invented by the Eastman's Photographic Material Company ... known as 'Eastman's solio paper'," at the Bell Hotel in Derby. Later directory entries for 1895, 1899 and 1912 show the studio at the same premises until at least 1926. Pollard Graham was boarding at a house in Cowley Street, Derby in 1901, describing himself as a "photographer - employer." His son James C. Graham was still working as a "photographic operator," but had moved with his family, which had by this time grown, with the addition of three more children, to Ashfield Road in South Manchester.

From around 1908-1910 Pollard Graham was in partnership with one Albert Hutchinson, presumably an investor. This partnership may have injected new life into the business, resulting in the profusion of new branch openings in Burnley, Rotherham, Coventry and Longton. The London Gazette reports the dissolution of this partnership on 22 March 1915. Graham's son appears to have subsequently been a partner, as evidenced by another London Gazette notice, dated 19 July 1927: "the Partnership heretofore subsisting between us, the undersigned, Pollard Graham and James Charnock Graham, carrying on business as Photographers at 12A Bridge-street, Northampton, 25 Newland-street, Kettering and Exchange-arcade, Wellingborough, all in the county of Northampton, and at Rodney Chambers, Cornmarket, in the county borough of Derby, under the style or firm of Pollard Graham & Son, has been dissolved by mutual consent as and from the 4th day of October, 1926." Pollard Graham retained his interest in the Derby branch, while his son took over all three Northamptonshire branches.

Barker Pollard Graham died at Derby in 1932, aged 87.

During the 1890s and 1900s Pollard Graham (later Pollard Graham & Co.) operated studios in many other locations, including Rotherham & Burnley (Yorkshire), Northampton & Peterborough (Northamptonshire), two addresses in Station Street, Burton-upon-Trent (c1890-1900), Burslem, Longton & Leigh (all in Staffordshire), Luton (Bedfordshire), Lincoln (Lincolnshire), Coventry & Birmingham (Warwickshire), Southport and Wigan (Lancashire). Craven (1993) describes the studio in Derby as staying in business until 1912, and a large format photograph taken at around this time shows the "head office and works" at 108A Friargate. Kelly's directory for that year shows Pollard Graham living at 5 Arboretum Square in Derby, and a Postcard photograph included in the portfolio below shows two maids in a garden, probably at this address. Another Postcard photograph dated c.1932 indicates that they were operating at least until that date.

This list of Pollard Graham's branch studios, with locations and approximate dates of operation, has been compiled from a number of sources. Please contact me if you have details of any other studio sightings, premises or additional dates.

The following is a provisional dating guide for the Pollard Graham studios, using the branches listed on the card mounts or on the backs of postcards. Please note that it is a work in progress and these dates should regarded as tentative rather than definitive. If you have any dated Pollard Graham portraits, whether they fit the dates shown below or not, I'd be very pleased to hear from you.

New additions to the gallery of images are always welcome, so please contact me by email if you have any photographs by this studio. Likewise, if you have further information on the photographer or any of the subjects shown below, I would also be keen to hear from you.

While in the United States he worked briefly as a singer with a touring troupe, and these clothes may have formed part of his costume. They arrived back in England in November 1892, and it seems likely that this portrait was taken not long after their return.

Negative No. - Size: Cabinet card (Mount 111.5 x 171 mm; Photo 93 x 139 mm) Card Type: Type 16 Card Thickness: - Date: Undated, probably taken c.1908 Notes: - Subject: Possibly Mary Haywood n�e Wood (c1843-), full length standing portrait with painted backdrop, chair and potted palm on a stool. Notes: [CH] Samuel & Mary Haywood emigrated to the United States some time between 6 April 1891 and 11 February 1892, so the latter date is the latest that this photograph could have been taken. [BP] Samuel and Mary Haywood and their three children, Mary Ann, Thomas & Ellen arrived in New York on board the City of Berlin from Liverpool on 18 April 1891, implying a date for the portrait prior to late March 1891. However, the style of both the clothing worn by this woman and the card mount suggest a date in the late 1890s, perhaps between 1908 and 1910. At this time, Mary Haywood would not only have been in the US, but also in her mid- to late 60s. This subject appears to me to be somewhat younger, raising the possibility of a mis-identification.

Notes: [AG] The Browns were a Wigan family, and the Penningtons were at that time Golborne (outlying village from Wigan). All of these places are a morning's walk from each other, but Wigan seems more likely, if only for proximity (but the card says Leigh ... then why would you walk 2 miles more to get to Leigh of all places? even then it was a dump!). I was back in the area a few weeks ago for a funeral. P-G's shop is currently swallowed by Smith's bookshop, which seems to have been knocked through from next door.

Subject: Ann Elizabeth Burgess n�e Perkins (b. 1848) and Leonard Boaz Burgess (1849-1918), full length seated/standing portrait with painted backdrop, floral patterned carpet and vase of flowers on a small side table. Notes: (JC) The subjects are my gg-grandparents. Leonard was born Oakley, Bedfordshire in 1849, Ann born Bromham, Bedfordshire in 1848. They married on 3 July 1870 at the Parish Church in Oakley. The first child was born in Oakley, but by the time of the 1871 census they were living in Derby. From 1881 to 1901 they were at 12 Fox St. Derby. In 1871 and 1901 he is descibed as "railway porter", so we think moved up the Midland mainline from Bedford to Derby with the railway company.
