I also bought from Ffordes on occasions, first time they were judged "Amateur Photographer" Retailer of the Year. It is interesting that if you look through a copy of Amateur Photographer published in the seventies, perhaps even earlier, you will see that Ffordes were going strong under the leadership of Reg Byford. I think the major change that has occured since is that the business is led by Steve Byford, Reg's son and they have relocated from Southend to bonnie Scotland. They must be doing someting right!
