J. Willoughby Harrison was a (semi- ?) professional photographer active in Birmingham, England, in the 1920s and 30s. Although there are some press credits [1,2], sufficiently few are found that he may well not have been a newspaper employee.
His address in November 1926 was given [3] as "[illegible; 40, 46 or 48?], St. Oswald's Road, Small Heath" in Birmingham.
He was evidently well connected, taking photographs of James Watt's workshop before its removal to London [4], and taking pictures for the city's official 1937 coronation brochure.[5]
However, there are very few search results for him, other than image credits. What was his full name, and dates? Can we learn anything else about him? Or find an image of him?
