One of James Date’s 1861 stereoscopic ambrotypes showing the construction work on the West Somerset Railway as it approached Watchet past centuries-old thatched buildings.

The hotelier and the butcher: in this remarkable hand-tinted ambrotype from the early 1860s, Henry Chidley, landlord of Watchet’s London Inn, and Mr Thorne, the local butcher, pose in the photographer’s studio as if negotiating over the price of a rack of lamb.

BRISTOL AND AVONMOUTH

A busy scene at Bristol Quay, photographed in the early 1860s, and published by Francis Frith & Company. While sailing ships still predominate, the crew are preparing a steamer, nearest to the camera, for departure. On the far side of the quay, the buildings include a hotel and tavern, ship’s chandlers, sail-makers and boot-makers. Bristol was unique in having its docks right in the heart of the city.
