Whilst having a sort out the other day, I came across some boxes of old black and white photographs that I acquired about 30 years ago from a former work colleague of mine called John Day. 

John, was (and probably still is) an excellent photographer who also happened to be interested in trains. As such he amassed quite a selection of railway photographs that he took in the 1960s and he has even had some of them published.

To be honest, I had forgotten that I had so many of his prints but, now that I have rediscovered them, I plan to include the best of them on this blog so that others may enjoy his work. 

I am sure that John will not object to me showing his work here and I will begin with some photographs that he took at Cole, on The Somerset and Dorset.
