Description

Roy Vincent was one of a band of enthusiasts whose interest in railways was both amateur and professional. In the former status he travelled widely, especially on what had once been LNER lines and similarly the GWR in Cornwall. His legacy is an archive of several thousand black and white and colour images showing the railway scene of the time, especially useful as it is not always ‘loco-centric’. Consequently in this all new album we are proud to present what is mainly the urban railway principally in the 1950s. A time when Britain was slowly climbing out of austerity and a depiction now lost forever except through the lens of the camera.

Graham Thorne – December 30, 2022

I hesitated to but this book as its coverage was so wide. I’m so glad I did because the coverage and the fact it is in no particular order is what made it such an enthralling read. A bran tub of a book full of the unexpected and unusual. I keep returning to it and every time I find something new.
