Email the Webmaster with your Lilian Ream pictures
Lilian Ream was a remarkable woman who ran a number of businesses in Wisbech
including the Borough Studio. She started her photographic career, at the age of
17, as an apprentice to Alfred Drysdale, a Wisbech photographer and, after
working with a number of other local firms, she started her own studio in 1909.
In time she took over the photographic businesses in Wisbech and became a
well-known figure in the area until her retirement, at the age of 72, in 1949.
The family firm she built continued until 1971 and over this period she amassed
a large collection of photographic negatives.
Lilian Ream is laid to rest in the cemetery at All Saints Church. The
galleries of her works on this web-page are a tribute to her. It also
gives us the opportunity to show some old pictures of Wisbech. We are
interested in Wisbech & Walsoken pictures
