NOVEMBER TALK: Focus on Harry Bray

Helen Bray

SPEAKER: Helen Bray, photographer
November 5, 2019, 7.30pm
Reception Room, Huddersfield Town Hall

​ A visual treat for those interested in the history and changing face of Huddersfield and its villages, presented by  award-winning portrait photographer Helen Bray.

​She takes us on an evocative journey into the history, events and characters from the inter-war period seen through the lens of her grandfather, Harry Bray, the Huddersfield Examiner’s first photographer.
​
​Harry became an apprentice at Bamforth’s, famed for its silent films and postcards, before opening his own studio, and during the 1930’s, working as a freelance photographer for the Examiner.

There will be a £4 entrance charge for non HCS members.
