SUMMARY:The John Wells Collection - Part 2 - Presented by Bryan Acford
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 26th September 2022 our guest speakers\, Chris Berridge and Bryan Acford presented Part 1 of the John Wells Collection. Since that date we have sadly lost our Branch Member\, Chris Berridge. Part 2 of the excellent John Wells Collection will be presented by his colleague\, Bryan Acford. This black and white collection was scanned and restored by Bryan and Part 2 covers the period Jan 1959 – 1964. Images from the lines to the London terminii include Waterloo\, Paddington\, Kings Cross\, Euston and St. Pancras. These will be followed by images taken on Shap and Beattock as well as Cambrian and Highland lines and will include more freight activity than illustrated in Part 1.

SUMMARY:Over The Mendips
DESCRIPTION:The Somerset & Dorset Railway originally ran from Burnham-on-Sea to Wimborne\, \nlinking the Bristol and English Channels. In 1874 an extension opened from \nEvercreech Junction over the Mendip Hills to link with the Midland Railway at Bath \nwhich immediately became the main line. Passenger trains included through \nexpresses from the Midlands and North to the South Coast until 1962\, freight saw \ncoal and stone from the Mendip collieries and quarries\, before finally closing as a \nthrough route in 1966. This illustrated talk marks 150 years since the Bath \nextension’s opening and contains a selection of historic pictures showing the \nconstruction\, doubling and operation of the line from the archives of the Somerset & \nDorset Railway Trust as well as images of the infrastructure still remaining along the \nroute. \nThe presenter\, Mike Beale is descended from 3 generations of S&D railwaymen\, was \nborn in Bath and has worked for British Rail and an international railway consultant. \nHe has been a member of the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust since 1974\, was \nchairman from 1985 to 1991 and a Trustee from 1999 until 2016. \n
