About Me
I have been taking railway photos since the 1960's and have access to collections back to the 1950's. Most of my work is in colour, though some monochrome images will be displayed.
Having spent my career in teaching I now have more time to work on the images.
Over a period of time I will display mainly railway images of many parts of Britain and Europe.
Each gallery covers a specific area of Britain, together with others for various European countries.

Location:North East England

Place Names
Where possible I have taken locations from the relevant BR Sectional Appendix. Otherwise I have used the name of the nearest settlement.
Photo Sales
Please note that many of the image files are only about 1500x1000 pixels. I do not recommend a print larger than 7"x5".
The orignal slides were over 30 years old, there is some fading and speckling.
