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.
