AdminHistory | Walter Stoneman worked for J Russell & Sons, photographers. They were based firstly at 73 Baker Street, London, later at 63 Baker Street, London. They moved to 49 Queens Gate, Kensington, possibly retaining the premises in Baker Street, as photographs dated between 1946 and 1954 bear either address. Walter Bird joined the company at 49 Queens Gate by 1959; Godfrey Argent took over from Bird in 1967. The business was renamed Godfrey Argent Studio (around 1975). Argent moved to 33 Queen's Gate Gardens (around 1972), then to Holland Park, London (1978) |
