Historic Roots

The Society was founded in 1900. A letter written to the "British Journal of Photography" dated November 1900 was as follows -

To the Editor,

Yesterday evening a new Photographic Society was inaugurated,

to be called Southend-on-Sea Photographic Society. Mr. Bullivant, Principal of the Ascham College, Westcliff-on-Sea, kindly placed a room at the disposal of the members until more suitable accommodation could be found. As there was no organisation of the kind in this district it should be a success signed Edward Dunmore
