Henry Stafford Smith

These premises were formerly occupied by the philatelist Henry Stafford Smith (B. 1843. D. 1903) who with his brother Alfred William Smith (B. 1837. D.1880) published from 1863 onwards, "The Stamp Collector's Magazine". This was the pioneer philatelic journal and Bath is therefore the cradle city of philatelic literature.
