Camera Club

This page is work in progress - if you have any historical information relating to the club, please contact us

Strabane has a long history associated with photography.

In particular there are two important names, Burroughs and Cooper.

J W Burroughs ran a photographic studio in the Railway Road from approx 1901 until 1913.

Herbert F Cooper took over Burrough's business in 1913 and took photographs until his death in 1960.

Both men took many photographs of historical significance as well as everyday life around the Strabane district during their tenure.
