W. Walls of Kensington Place, Brighton

The photographic portrait studio at No.11 Kensington Place, Brighton, was established by William Walls around 1868. After the death of William Walls in 1873, the photography business passed to his widow Mrs Rosetta Jane Walls, who continued to operate the business under the name of her late husband until about 1877. Rosetta Jane Walls was later joined in the business by photographer William Henry Hilton and after 1877, the studio went under the name of Walls & Co.
