Can anyone decipher this?
« on: Monday 20 March 17 22:00 GMT (UK) »
It's on the back of a photograph of a person.

I'm not sure if it's an address (S. Pessett (?) ____), or the subject's name.

I'd say it is a person: S Perrett

Hi

Perrett rather than Pessett?

Looks like maybe 'Photo' then Company underneath, but that doesn't really make sense!

Oh! Perhaps it's the photographer's details then? S. Perrett (Pessett) Photography?

Hi and welcome to RootsChat....agree with what has been suggested...can you tell us what the photo is of. I don't think this was written by the photographer though.
