RB Berry & Co is known to have operated from the 11 Church Street address between 1874 and 1876, so if Mosesgate is stamped over that, I suspect that it was produced in the late 1870s, but would need to confirm from the photograph whether that time frame is right.

The photographer is listed as R.B. Berry & Co and it says "Mosesgate N. R. Bolton". I believe it belonged to my great-grandfather who had family from Bolton.

It says the photo studio is L. berry & Son so I'm not sure if this would have been the same company or not. <br /><br /><br /><br />Leslie Young (nee Farnworth)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13292864681213733106noreply@blogger.com
