Operation Recovery Discovering Un-Loved Photographic Collections |
My photographic slides were abandoned in the loft for some 30 years, but were recovered in 1999 to create this web site,
a very fortunate turn of events as the quality of the slides
were deteriorating very rapidly. The pictures represent a valuable historical resource and I hear all too often that rare
pictures of bygone age have been thrown away, generally on the death of the photographer. Sometimes these collections
are thoughtfully given to a museum, but the pictures are seldom made freely available to view or even purchase copies.
Are there are any collections, or the odd print or two, of transport in bygone Croydon, that is about to be placed in the
dustbin? If so, I would be more than happy to be the new custodian of these pictures with the objective of placing some of
the images on the WEB, for all to enjoy. My particular interest is in all forms of electric transport.
Please send me an email in the first instance, so that I can contact you to discuss the matter further. I look forward
to hearing from you.
