Hampton's Studio

In 1922 Hampton's studio was located at 11 Victoria Square and in 1924 at 157 Cambridge Terrace. He remained there until at least 1941. In 1943 the trustees of Henry Hampton were managing the studio.

[11 Victoria Square and 157 Cambridge Terrace may be the same location, in 1941, 157 Cambridge Terrace was located two doors from Victoria Street and is therefore not the current location of 157 Cambridge Terrace]

There was a large gathering last evening of the members of St Matthew’s choir and their friends in the parish room, to bid farewell to Mr H, Hampton (of the photographic staff of the “Weekly Press”) and Mrs Hampton, who are leaving shortly for a trip to England. After some musical items and games, the vicar, on behalf of the choir, presented Mr Hampton with a handsome suit case. He referred to Mr Hampton’s long and exemplary service as a member of the choir, and specially to his diligent and and faithful work as secretary and librarian. He expressed the hope that the guests of the evening would have a pleasant and prosperous voyage, and assured them of a thoroughly warm welcome on their return to the Dominion. Mr L. S. Pilgrim, organist and choirmaster, also spoke of the valuable assistance he had received from Mr Hampton.
