Following this evening's interesting talk about Somerset Photographers by Robin Ansell and Phil Nichols if any of you have information about photographers or locations in Somerset which were featured in the talk please contact Phil Nichols. He would also be glad to hear of any photographers who have Somerset connections but were not included in the talk or in the book, "Secure the Shadow" - Somerset photographers 1839 - 1939.

I live in Yeovil now, so was not at the talk and don't know who was mentioned, but I have a photograph of my uncle, Frederick George Bennett, which was taken by J E Ballantyne, Regent Street, Weston-super-Mare, I would think about 1910, if this fills in any gaps. My uncle was killed in 1910 following a kick to the head by a horse. He was 20 and was to have been married in a few days. This is a studio portrait and the print number is 6316.

Thank you Carol - I have forwarded this to Phil Nicholls. I see from our transcriptions that he was buried at Worle on Christmas Eve - what a sad Christmas for that family. You can make contact with Phil Nicholls directly by using this email address
