Henry Brooks and his family are hardly remembered these days, yet they lived in High Street, Salisbury, for nearly a century.
Henry was in turn a wood turner, a carver and gilder, a picture restorer, a frame maker and a painter. He was also one of the earliest Salisbury photographers and even made a few stereographs. He opened his studio around 1855, and his business was carried on by his sons well into the twentieth century.
Photo historians Denis Pellerin and Rebecca Sharpe, from the Brian May Archive of Stereoscopy, will bring the Brooks family back to life to support the Salisbury Museum on Thursday, March 17, 2022, starting at 19:30 GMT. You will also discover Victorian Salisbury, in 3-D, as the Brooks family saw it.
Location: The Salisbury Museum Lecture Theatre, 65 The Close, Salisbury, SP1 2EN (England).
Cost: £9 Members; £12 Non-Members
