As well as a selection of Hardman'ss collection of photographs - over 142,000 images – the house includes the studio where most were taken, the darkroom where they were developed and printed, the business records and the rooms where the photographer, Edward Chambre Hardman, and his wife Margaret lived from 1948 to 1988, complete with all their contents and ephemera of daily life.

The subject matter of the photographs – portraits of the people in Liverpool, their city and the landscapes of the surrounding countryside – provide a record of a more prosperous time when Liverpool was the gateway to the British Empire and the world. Parallel to this is the quality of Hardman’s work and his standing as both a pictorial and portrait photographer
