Other Places
My father travelled the country quite extensively but his obsession
with the railways meant that most of the photo's he took weren't really
of the places he visited! However, there are a reasonable amount
that I think are of more general interest and that is why I created
this section of the website. People have a great sense of
nostalgia for the 1950's and 1960's so I'm sure these photographs will
be appreciated in a similar fashion to those
he took of Birmingham.If you know the places shown here and can provide more information for the captions, please get in touch.
