first time. An advertisement on the same page, below the listing of Brighton photographers, announces " WILLIAM AVENELL & Co; 48 WEST STREET, BRIGHTON - Art Photographers. High Class Work Only at Moderate Charges. An inspection of our studios invited. Appointments by Telephone, 48." Avenell had apparently purchased the photographic studio from Christopher Davis, who then left Brighton and set up as a photographer in Worcester. ... William Avenell ran his photography business at 48 West Street until about 1905. Avenell is not listed as a photographer under Photographic Artists in the Brighton & Hove Professions and Trades section of Towner’s Directory of 1906 and 48 West Street is not used as a photographic studio from 1906 onwards. Bennett’s Business Directory of 1907-1908 lists, under the heading of Photographers, the name W. Avenill at 40a North Street, Brighton. This address had been the site of a photographic studio since 1859. In 1905, the studio at 40a North Street had been in the hands of Albert Kimber (born c1868 Croydon, Surrey), a cousin of Henry Thomas Edwards ( born c1857 Hurstpierpoint ) a prominent Brighton photographer, but it soon passed to Walter Littlewood who remained at 40a North Street until 1906. I am assuming W. Avinill is identical to William Avenell, but there is no further reference to him in Brighton after this entry in Bennett’s Directory. William disappears from the historical record after 1907."
