Situated just below the Anglican Cathedral in
the centre of Liverpool is this fascinating house,
home to Edward Chambré Hardman and his
wife Margaret, between 1947 and 1988. The house
contains an extensive collection of photographs,
the studio where most were taken, the darkroom
where they were developed and printed, the business
records and the rooms complete with all their
contents and ephemera of daily life. The subject
matter of the photographs – portraits of
the people in Liverpool, their city and the landscapes
of the surrounding countryside – provide
a record of a more prosperous time when Liverpool
was the gateway to the British Empire and the
world. Parallel to this is the quality of Hardman’s
work and his standing as a pictorial photographer.
