| Keywords: workshop fireplace carpenter watts fred watts fredwatts edwardian album public domain publicdomain Captioned "Fred Watts husband of Edith (Mother's eldest sister)" Another superb and quite unusual (for its time) vernacular photo from the Hook family album. Mother in this context is Ethel Martha Hook (nee Stapleton) whose sister Edith married Fred Watts, depicted here. In fact thanks to EastMarple1 we know "Edith Florence b. qtr Mar 1869 married Henry F. WATTS, a carpenter and joiner. Married 14 years no kids by 1911". From what I can see there's a mantlepiece leaning against the wall to the left, and we also know that John Hook, who is his brother in law (and in this context would have been 'father') was a fireplace and mantlepiece manufacturer according to the 1911 census. The likely location is near Chelmsford, Essex, though a sign with Great Western Company connections (see comment below) might suggest otherwise.
