The studio of Robert Jones (1814-1897) Several of his images from the
19th Century are included in an archive being exhibited in Herefordshire
this summer. His image from 1865 is the oldest in the archive. The
youngest image was taken by Amy Winterbourn daughter of another
Leominster photographer from that period Thomas Henry Winterbourn. The
archive is on view at The Lion Ballroom 13-15 August and in Hereford
during September. |

Thomas Henry Winterbourn’s photography covered the period 1870-1922, when he lived in this property Waterloo House, 41 Broad Street, with his daughter Amy Winterbourn.
The plates came from two sets of large donations, one of around 3,000
glass plate negatives from Mr Winterbourn’s grandson Richard
Winterbourn, and from the Knox family who acquired about 4,000 glass
plate negatives when they bought their house.
