By chance, somebody wrote a book about Harold Squibbs, and it's been digitized by Google. I hope the item under this link will be visible to you. I've learned that at least some Google books are not visible to people outside the U.S.

I scrolled through this looking at the chronology of his life. He moved to Cardigan and got into the photography business with his brother in about 1907. For a while he worked from home (not sure if that work was photographic). He opened his first photography studio about 1910 at No. 51 St Mary Street. By 1914 he had moved to 38 High Street, Cardigan. He later (date not given) moved to a place called Bank House, more centrally located on High Street in Cardigan.

He passed away in the 1940s. The book was apparently written by a relative.

The book or treatise is titled South West Wales Through the Lens of Harry Squibbs (Vol. 1) South Cardiganshire. The author is named Pam Fudge. It was published in 2014 by Amberley, a company that publishes local and specialty histories.

I put all of this in just in case you could not get to the book through the above link. If the card mount for your photo has an address on it, you might be able to get close on the date?

Thank you for that. I purchased that book only today actually! Seems very interesting. At least we can positively say the photo dates after c.1907? Unfortunately there is no address on the card mount
