Geoffrey's wife Edrei was actually the manageress of Jerome's photography studio in Leeds before they married and set up their own photography business in Leeds. ( from the gratispool link)

One of my photos taken as a baby has a Jerome's stamp on the back. It says either 33 or 38 Boar Lane - the ink has smeared a little. I also have a Geoffrey's photo but it doesn't give the full address, just Boar Lane.

Just found a pic of my uncle stood outside Geoffreys on Boar Lane. The woode pillar to the left of pic matches with the same pillars that are there today. Don't know what the number of the shop was though but definitely opposite Trinity church.

I you take an old photograph to get a copy you will have problems if the shop that printed it put there name on the back I once took a photograph to get a copy it was forty years old no shop would touch it because of the name on the back I managed to get one but i was told to stick a piece of paper to hide the name even though the shop had closed years ago. .

Hi tilly. How very strange. I wonder why? Surely the name of the shop that originally printed the photo would not appear in a copy, so it should not be any problem with copyright of the shops name.

I hadn't heard of the Liddle Collection until you mentioned it above, but I've Googled it and it sounds interesting. Unfortunately I no longer have access to the library as I left the University almost two years ago!
