Hazelmay   10 #2 Posted January 31, 2009 I used to live in Sheffield many years ago.  As a child, in the early fifties, I lived in the Pitsmoor district. On Burgreave Road, in one of those big old house, there was a photographer called Fred Naggs or maybe Knaggs. He had a studio on the ground floor of the house. My parents were friends of theirs. They had a daughter named Freda whom I played with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Texas   10 #4 Posted January 31, 2009 You're right Hazelmay, just around the corner from the Vestry Hall, on the right. He had like a glass case in the front with examples of his work. Wouldn't last a couple of seconds nowadays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

painterman   10 #8 Posted January 31, 2009 I think snagglepuss is thinking of 'fred hartleys' which was a chain of car spares shops.  Fred Knaggs was a photographer, but also ran a car spares shop on the same premises by the time it closed. My sister had a photo taken by him in the late fifties/early sixties and I bought a battery charger from him years later possibly in the seventies. We used to live on Grimesthorpe road just round the corner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

TeachersPet   10 #11 Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Practically all our 'official' family photos were taken by Fred Knaggs. He appears to have been a very good photographer (can't say I remember him as I was only a small child whenever he took our photos). Having said that, I remember him trying to get me to smile when he took a photo of my brothers and sister and myself. He failed!

Texas   10 #12 Posted July 26, 2010 Actually, the name 'Fred Naggs', was a by-word around Pitsmoor. He was like the only game in town if you wanted some shots taken, at a wedding or any kind of function. I remember, when I was about thirteen or fourteen, I had a bull-terrier name of 'Tiger'. I took him down to Fred Naggs, me and him, boy and his dog. 'Tiger' didn't dig the scene at all. Mr Naggs wanted me to sit Tiger on a wooden chair and me to stand beside him. Old 'Tige' had other ideas. The resulting photograph included a blurred arm and hand and a lopsided 'Tiger'. I wish I had that photograph now though.
