September 26th, 1967: Very lucky to catch this unusual working passing Healey Mills - D5242 towed Jubilee 45596 Bahamas to Hunslet, Leeds, for work on preservation. It had been stored at 9B Stockport for over a year. Notice all the Class 37 and 40s in background - and the braketenders.

03: Healey Mills, Wakefield in the 60s and 70s
Welcome
Hello, welcome to my website (started March 3rd, 2007).
I intend to build up a library of railway images taken from my photographic collection during the 1960s onwards. I lived in Halifax, West Yorkshire, for the first 63 years of my life - hence lots of photos from Mirfield and Leeds areas. At first I had a Kodak box camera, however I soon went on to a Yashica twin lens relflex camera (1962/63) which was very reliable though quite large. I went to 35mm in 1964 with dreadful results using a Mamiya SLR (not sure of model) - hence few pics from this year. Eventually got better results from this camera. Then in late 1966 I obtained a Minolta SR1 camera. This produced excellent photographs and I used it until well into the 1990s. Currently I have a wonderful digital Canon EOS 5D (with 28-70mm, 50mm and 75-300mm lenses) and also, from late 2009, a Panasonic TZ6 with Leica x12 lens, which for a tiny compact camera, produces some really good results. We moved house and relocated in Castle Bytham, Lincolnshire (between Grantham and Stamford), in August 2010 - so I look forward to adding images from this area in the future
