USA Studios

On a previous thread, someone mentioned that USA Studios had four or five studios outside London. Can anyone tell me where these were as the location would help me identify an unknown gentleman whose photo was in my grandmother's collection.

The following is from the back of a photo I have of my grandfather. My photo is from Edgware road and this forum seems to imply no archives of this company exist, is that correct?

Thanks, that narrows it down quite a bit

I have a few photos from the USA Studios in Chatham (tentatively dated to 1905-1910) with the list of studios on the back, but the list is different, and the number of the Chatham branch has also changed. Do you have a date for your photo MartinH? I'm guessing they opened some new studios and closed others as time went by.
