The Rest of My Material

Welcome to my (mainly) non-transport gallery.

This varied selection of images reflects a general interest in photography that waned some years ago but all my negatives and slides have been retained.

One wishes that others would take seemingly redundant collections as seriously but, sadly, that is often not the case. My personal interest is in archive negatives and colour slides depicting road (pre-1955) and rail (pre-1964) transport subjects. So, if you have such material that is no longer of interest to you or you've been the beneficiary of a will please don't send it to the council tip - as the house clearers do - but first consider contacting me via the 'Leave a message' box or the 'Comments' buttons.

Top Photographs This Week

1	With zero personal knowledge of the genre I'm grateful for all supporting data which, in this cae, has been provided by Michael Walters: "Fowler wagon no 19708 registration no. UB8660 was built as a gully emptier and was purchased new by the City of Leeds Cleansing Department. When it was disposed of it went to Robinson and Birdsell's scrapyard in Leeds where it lay in a pile of scrap but almost complete. It was cut up before it was rescued and the parts were purchased by Tom Varley, who rebuilt it and had it running by 1971. Fowler wagons are unusual in having a compound V-twin engine which is arranged with the high pressure cylinder under the driver's seat and low pressure cylinder under the mate's seat. The gear box provides three speeds and the drive to the rear wheels is by prop-shaft and a worm driven differential gear. The boiler was of the vertical fire tube type, a type that had been abandoned by most wagon manufacturers due to its poor performance compared to the water tube boilers that were being used."

3	Seahorse Goldilocks and Seahorse Cineralla perhaps the favourites of all the Siamese cats that have been part of my life. photographed on my kitchen window sill in Middelburg (Netherlands) in 1981.	Cats, cats and more cats.	(1)
4	My moggy for some years answered to a call of Jemmy. Well, if there was food in the offing! She didn't like people very much.	Cats, cats and more cats.	(1)
5	Siamese chocolate point cat Seahorse Masquerade aka Pip. Pip wouldn't normally tolerate any cat within his domain but this very young and beautiful lady was given free rein in his garden. One wonders why. It was pathetic to see but very amusing as he tried his best to romance her.	Cats, cats and more cats.	(1)
