Creating this web site has been a learning curve for myself.I never knew that the shop had existed on three sites around town.51 Peel Street being the first site for the shopAccording to Colin Harding the curator of photographic technology at the
Bradford Photographic Museum,Pyes's of Clitheroe definitely is one of the oldest photography shops in the United Kingdom.To his knowledge there is
only one older shop in the UK and that is Edward Reeves Photography down in Lewes,Sussex which amazingly has been going since 1855.But that does not mean to say there are not another few shops hiding away somewhere else in the UK.So if you want a 'good class camera' and 'gas light postcards' get down to Peel Street.
