Hunt's Studio, Marlborough
Hunt's Studio by Christopher Hughes 1929
Welcome to the JJ Hunt Wiltshire Archive - a collection of photographs and postcards spanning some thirty years or so. About five years ago I stumbled upon a postcard of Marlborough High Street published by Hunt's Studio. I was aware that my maternal great-grandfather, JJ Hunt was a photographer but I had no idea of the extent of the legacy of pictures he had left. Now with a collection of postcards and prints in excess of eighty and growing, I decided to create an archive based on his work.
The aim of the archive is bring the attention of the work of JJ Hunt to others whether they be local historians or Wiltshire residents interested in viewing their locality as it was in the past. I have included a representative selection of JJ Hunt images from my personal collection on these pages together with some historical information relating to the photographer himself. I look forward to hearing from anyone who has found the archive of interest via the contact page.
