1871-1949

of Tring (1899-1902)

  

Arthur John Arnold Norman was a watchmaker, who was in Tring by 1893 and was trading as a photographer (and as a watchmaker?)  in Western Road, Tring, between about 1899 and 1902, before leaving the town and resuming work as a watchmaker. Any of his Tring photographs can be provisionally dated to about 1900.
