Godfrey Bingley

Godfrey Bingley (1842–1927) was a British photographer, engineer and iron founder.

Bingley is remarkable for the number and quality of photographs he took around the United Kingdom and abroad.

[2] By the age of 42 Bingley was able to retire and developed an interest in photography and its technical capabilities.

[9] In 1895 the Council of the Society commended Bingley for providing them with an impressive collection of photographs of geological subjects in Yorkshire.

[13] Failing eyesight forced him to give up photography and in 1913 he donated his archive of around 12000 photographic negatives to the University of Leeds.
