Victorian carte-de-visite, photograph of Sandringham House owned by Queen Elizabeth II, photographed by W R Bridgeon, circa 1865 Originally a clock maker, Pridgeon briefly played host to the business of Oliver Sarony, before setting himself up as Sarony's successor in March 1857 (Source: Lynn Advertiser). Dimond reports that, on 3rd April 1865 at Sandringham, Edward, Prince of Wales’ wrote, ‘We and the whole party were photographed (in a group) by Mr Pridgeon, a Lynn photographer and the result was satisfactory.’ A report in The Lon don Standard of December 4th 1865 suggests there was a second such occasion towards the end of the year. In the spring of 1862, Sandringham House with its estate was bought as a country home for Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who had just turned 21. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had decided that he should move from the family home to a house of his own.This image has had some digital restoration.
