Title: Disposing of photographic collection
Post by: Adam1701D on January 02, 2020, 10:35:00 AM
As you may be aware, I will be moving to Spain soon and thus have to drastically downsize my railway interests.

I have amassed quite a large photo collection, with albums dating from the mid 1980s until the early 90s and a lot of loose photos after that. Unfortunately, I will not have room to move or store these and would like to dispose of the images to an interested person or organisation.

From 1987 to 1997 I worked for BR at Kings Cross and Peterborough and many of the images are London-based covering the transition to sectorisation and various new liveries. A lot of the images were taken with a modeller's eye and also an eye to the future with the electrification of the ECML getting a lot of focus.

If anyone can help me pass this collection on to someone who would appreciate it, I would be so grateful. It is way too large to post, so would need collecting from Peterborough.

Hi, have you approached colour rail or Getty images as they may well take them off your hands.

Can I suggest approaching the National Railway Museum in York.

Thank you - my browser didn't refresh properly :-)

I have contacted the HMRS who seem most interested.
