Photos taken by or from the collection of Robert J Powell. Mr Powell was Chief Controller in Carlisle up to about 1948 when he moved to Barrow as District Goods & Passenger Manager. He had commenced his career with the Glasgow & South Western Railway in Glasgow about 1920 and retired in the early 1960s as Divisional Manager Nottingham.
Not all are totally mystery pics but all have queries about them as detailed on the text file also attached. Quality not always very brilliant but all interesting.
William Nash was born 1909 and deceased 1952. This collection was donated to the CRA 28 May 2020.
It comprises scanned copies of the contents of 4 individual albums of railway photograph negatives, the work of William Nash, the father of the donor Mrs Kate Robinson. The collection totals 354 individual images taken during the years 1923 to 1937 at locations throughout the UK including many in the CRA area.
The collection is yet to be catalogued but we thought it worth sharing anyway. Feel free to leave any descriptive comments that you feel would be useful
