Bert Hardy
I actually met Bert Hardy when I was living in Sussex. I had approached him to give a talk at my camera club in I think 1989. I went to his house and had a lovely talk with him, but he regretted that he would be unable to help due to his failing health. One of life's natural gentlemen.

A nice set of pictures. I was able to get hold of a Bert Hardy books some years ago. I think it must have been from the library and his street photography of the Gorbals was particularly poignant.
He is the man who later shot the "You're never alone with a Strand" series of advertisements for that homely and cosy habit of smoking as it was portrayed in the 50s and fully endorsed by all except a few strange people who felt that smoke in the lungs might not have been such a good idea. Mike |

The 1975 book 'Bert Hardy' printed by Gordon Fraser, is well worth seeking out.

Not many people remember Bert set up a darkroom, Grove Hardy, in the 1950's. Gerry Grove, the printer he set it up with died in the 1970's, but it carried on & Bert ran it until he died in 1995. After that his widow Sheila carried it on & retitled it 'The Bert Hardy Darkroom'. But it closed in 2007. I took some pictures just before it was cleared & redeveloped, on the Darkside site;
