A smart gentleman sitting for C.Plews, photographer. The reverse of this card stated:
From the studio of C Plews, Houghton-le-Spring, Fence Houses Copyright © Books of the North 2000 - 2009.
But it is unlikely the studio was in Fence Houses - that was often listed with the address as it was the nearest railway stationing receiving mail!
If you have any Houghton photos or memories you would like to share, please contact Paul Lanagan.
