I H Dixon photographer Maidenhead
« on: Saturday 16 May 15 22:46 BST (UK) »
I have 2 cartes de visites photographs by I H Dixon King Street Maidenhead; they appear to be c 1890 but I have no access to relevant directories. The historic directories site of Leicester University does not have appropriate volumes. Has anyone access to information about the dates this business might have been active? I suspect Dixon was in business later with a partner as Dixon and Smith at the same address. Can anyone give me further information?

Is this related to this earlier thread?

yes, I decided to break it down to specifics since I have other photographers, schools and rowing clubs to investigate, and in Maidenhead followed by Reading. Too much to include sensibly in one query, I realised.

He does not appear in Kelly's Berkshire directories of 1887, 1895, 1899 or 1903. There is a photographer called Oakley in King St premises over this entire period. A couple of other Maidenhead photographers are listed, but not in King St.

Contact Maidenhead Library they have a good local studies section and may well have town directories that have more comprehensive coverage than the county directories.
