W. A. Newton of those 3 tunnels at Lords being constructed. http://www.railwayarchive.org.uk/map...=1&mp=3&all=no You can navigate away friom this picture to see a wide range of Newton photos from that area. In fact from almost anywhere along the GCR line. Many of those pictures were printed in a book by LTC Rolt. Some were printed in a booklet by a Leicestershire museum. The railwayarchive link is in "my favourites". These photographs are wonderful, yet so sad. The fact that the construction of MS&L ry's route to London is so well documented is great. I love to look at them. But, one is reminded of how this route was run down and finally closed by Barbara Castle. The jobs were lost, and the family connections and travel opportunities gone. And more freight was pushed onto the roads. Muy triste. True. I have Rolt's book, of course, and bought several scans of Newton's negatives from,Leicestershire Records Office and later they made scans more widely available so I obtained some more. I have used them in some presentations on our local railway - I live very near to the GW & GC Joint line. Lots more railway history at High Wycombe, most totally unknown to today's local population even though some of the earliest buildings still exist.. Guy Gorton |
