J G Charlton, John Charlton, Canterbury

~ J. G. CHARLTON ~

J. G. Charlton / John Charlton, Photographer

54 ST. GEORGE'S STREET (late J. Bateman)

moved to

14 MERCERY LANE, CANTERBURY

Showing John G. Charlton's shop on the right. A view through the Cathedral Gateway.

The signature on the card looks like Samuel Muir. I found a Samuel J. Muir in the early 1900's in Middlesex, Interestingly enough he was a photographer in his 40's. Whether this gentleman is older than this is hard to tell. There was Muir families in Canterbury, but I cannot find a Samuel. There was a Sarah Muir in her 70's, a George H. Muir in his 30's, a Louisa, Maud, Edward, Elizabeth, Mable, Louisa M., Thomas, a Sarah O. in her 60's, and an Emma.

The two CDV's are from the 1890's

This gentleman with the umbrella looks familiar, like I've seen him in other Canterbury photographs, but I cannot place him at the moment.

John came to Canterbury around 1893, and took over the premises of John Bateman's shop at 54 St. George's Street where he worked until about the early 1900's when he moved over to Mercery Lane.

I read that when he retired his glass plate negatives were destroyed, which means John Bateman's negatives also? (now that is a travesty).
