Brooks family photograph album
- AR876
- Collection
- c.1890 - 1900
Large photograph album, in a fragile condition with some loose pages. The album is mainly holiday photographs (Isle of Wight, Bexhill, Eastbourne etc) but with some Croydon photographs, including interiors. These include:
88 Lansdowne Road, Drawing Room, 1892
88 Lansdowne Road, Conservatory
Eldon Villa
Ruby Lodge, Park Hill Rise (Back view)
Coombe Cottage
Hill Crest, (on Brownlow Road), 1892 (front and garden)
St Matthews Church (exterior and interior)
St Fillans, Coombe, Croydon
Wrencote, Croydon
The album also includes scenes from a historical pageant as well as some pressed leaves.
It is likely that the owner of the album was an acquaintance of James Sant (1820 - 1916, born in Croydon) as there are photographs of him at work and also a photograph of three ladies taken at his home at 43 Lancaster Gate, London.
