Ron Harrison formed the company in 1970. He was proud to say that personal customer attention along with the best advice is the key to a successful business. Using the knowledge he learned in large format reconnaissance photography in the RAF, Ron first worked for Prestons the Chemist in Sheffield, before entering photographic retail with Hodgsons Camera Shop in Sheffield. He was instrumental in forming Woodseats Photographics, with two shops in Sheffield and later, an additional shop in Scunthorpe. He moved on to starting his own business with just a pair of 10x50 binoculars, a Yashica Electro 35 Camera, a cine camera, a £250 loan from his parents and credit accounts (30 days ) from two Yorkshire based wholesale suppliers. Due to his tenacity and excellent customer communication skills, the company soon grew. He would often let students who were strapped for cash, take cameras away with them and pay on 'tick' with nothing more than a name and address as security and do you know what... he was rarely let down. Ron died in July 2018 at the grand age of 91. He is sadly missed, but his legacy continues as the Company follows his key principles outlined above. It was soon clear that Ron needed a helping hand and from the age of 12, his son, Glyn worked in the shop in the evenings and at weekends to help his father cope with the growing demands of a busy shop. Glyn is the sole director. The shop now covers a floor area of 245 square meters, and is still located on London Road in Sheffield. Although we have changed premises over the years, we are still within 75 metres of the original shop that Ron founded, forty-seven years ago. The shop is bright, modern and extremely well stocked with all things photographic, including optical products. We offer a warm and friendly Yorkshire welcome, and we are totally dedicated to offering all our customers the widest possible choice in photographic equipment, at of course competitive Yorkshire price
