This business probably started up c1891 in photo-lithography and printing. Their first location might have been in Union Passage.

Some nice examples of equipment produced by Griffiths are in the advertisement below. I like the name of the Guinea Detective Camera.

In 1884 Highgate Square is not listed as having businesses

1888-90 Walter Griffiths Highgate Square, paper box maker

1892 Walter Griffiths & Co Ltd Hoghgate Square, photographic apparatus manufacturer
