Around 1950
Here is

Norman Watson
Photographer |

I was surprised to see that this photograph was taken by Norman Watson,
Penrith, rather than by an Edinburgh photographer or Prophet of Dundee.
I have not been able to trace what has happened to the Norman Watson
business. Did it, perhaps have some connection with the Edinburgh
photographer, Norman Watson who had a studio at 8 Albany Street from 1857
until 1959?
If you can tell me anything about Norman Watson, please
e-mail me.
Thank you. - Peter Stubbs, December 18, 2006 |

Thank you to Phil Wilson who replied:
"I've just been reading the page about Granton
School with photos, including one taken in 1962 by Norman Watson.
I have one of myself, taken officially at
Wardie School, by Norman Watson, Penrith, which I had roughly and quite
independently dated 1962. It looks like he may have gone for, and
got, the local contract that year.
The number on the back of my photo in pencil
is 12309."
