A keen photographer as well, his interest in photography may have stemmed from his father, Richard Keylock Passmore, who worked as a photographer in Swindon during the 1860’s A.D. Passmore collected and recorded objects from archaeological excavations throughout Wiltshire and even assisted O.G.S. Crawford in a 1923 excavation of Stonehenge.
