SAVORY PHOTO Hereford

[DeComyn]

I have a photograph (the lady on the left) from 1905 which has SAVORY PHOTO on the front. Has anyone heard of this photographer - long shot I know  -as I wondered where in Hereford it may have been taken.

Thankyou, that really does help as I can work out who Amy may have been going to see in the direct area (part of ongoing mystery!!) and this really does shed a new light on some things. (Hadn't occured to me to look there  - can't see the wood for the trees at the moment)
Thanks very much

Hi Francesca
I came across Frederick Mortimer Savory, Art photographer, 8 Castle Street,Cirencester. Listed in Kellys Directory of Gloucestershire 1889, via Genuki.
Might be a bit out of the area you are looking at?

Best wishes

Pete

I can't believe there are two photographers with the name Savory!! Yes, Cirencester might not be right, but then with Amy anything could be possible. She was in Yorkshire for a short while and we know she came back to Hereford, but she may well have gone other places too. I will keep this in mind.
Thanks very much
