SUMMARY:A Lifetime of Railway Photography
DESCRIPTION:Not quite a lifetime\, John took his first picture at the age of nine using his mother’s rather ancient folding camera. He was already interested in railways as most boys of his generation were\, where the passion came from for recording what he saw on film is lost in the mists of time but it’s been continuous ever since he acquired a simple Ilford camera for his twelfth birthday. He began to realise that the steam railway that he was privileged to grow up with was fast disappearing giving him greater impetus to carry on\, the only limiting factor was finance as it all had to be funded from pocket money and the proceeds of a paper round. Later when he started work he acquired more sophisticated equipment and recorded the end of steam on the Southern and in the NW and following that the preservation scene right up to the present day. He hopes there will be something of interest to everyone. If you remember his previous presentation to the branch\, you will very much make this a date for your diary.

SUMMARY:That was the Year that Was – 1966
DESCRIPTION:1966 was a busy year for Geoff: whilst still a schoolboy\, he covered a considerable amount of the country. This presentation includes scenes on various North Wales Narrow Gauge Lines and the Cambrian Coast\, holidays in the north west of England and several RCTS railtours. These include the ’Somerset & Dorset Farewell’\, the ‘Longmoor Military Railtour’ (which ran twice)\, the ‘Eight Counties Railtour’ and ‘East Midlander No. 7’. A couple of visits to Crewe Works\, Southern Region steam and lines out of Marylebone\, a smattering of London Transport steam and scenes around Chester and Birkenhead – the vast majority of photos in colour. \nGeoff Plumb is a lifelong railway enthusiast\, born in Sheffield in March 1949. From an early age he took thousands of photos\, the vast majority in colour\, documenting the decline and fall of steam locomotives. Geoff’s interest in photography led to his forty plus years career in Television\, starting with London Weekend TV as a cameraman in 1968\, later with Granada TV and finally as a freelance ‘lighting cameraman’. Many of Geoff’s photos have been published in magazines such as The Railway Magazine and Steam World\, and in books including Red Panniers – Last Steam on the Underground. The Royal Mail has even used a couple of his photos on specialist stamp issues! Geoff has an active photo gallery website at: www.plumbloco.co.uk where many of his pictures can be seen.
