William Hayes (1871–1940) was a Victorian photographer in York^[1]

He moved to the small village of Hutton-le-Hole in the North York Moors in 1911, and his studio is now erected there in the Ryedale Folk Museum. (The museum is an open-air museum with other re-erected North Yorkshire buildings.)[1] The Hayes photographs include some of the family in the studio, which was built of corrugated aluminium with large glass windows. Many other photographs are of farm workers around Hutton-le-Hole.
