Sun-Ray Photo Co.

The Sun Ray Photo company was a created pre-WWII walking picture firm operating in Scarborough.  They had two shops, at 7 Valley Bridge Parade and 28 Newborough, which runs through the town and down to the seafront. The photographers would walk along popular tourist routes, taking pictures of people, which could then be purchased from one of their physical sites. Numbers are often ‘scribbled’ on the images, these numbers would have to be quoted when the portraits were collected. During the winter the photographers would work from the studios, or travel around the area taking pictures of scenes for postcards.
