Biographical / Historical
William Keating of Southport was one of the first commercial photograph reproducers to serve the fairground enthusiast community. He primarily collected postcards and photographs of key events and created high quality copy negatives for commercial purposes. A small number of his own images were acquired by David Braithwaite, who then donated them to the Archive.
