Railway Photography Through the Decades – 1947-1979

Speaker – Colin Boocock

The first of two shows which cover Colin’s lifetime railway photographic journey as he progressed from a Brownie box camera in 1950 to more sophisticated cameras, as well as his earlier attempts at successful 35mm colour slide photography before moving into the digital era. Colin has travelled extensively abroad, so the show isn’t entirely of UK railways, though British pictures are in the majority. 1980-2021 will follow in 2027.


All presentations are held in the Roundhouse lecture theatre commencing at 19.30 and finishing between 21.45 and 22.00. Doors open at 19.00.

Entry is via the Commercial entrance (electric gate), which is open between approximately 19.00 and 19.25 to allow a prompt start at 19.30.

Presentations are held on the third Thursday of every month unless otherwise indicated.

Hot and cold drinks are available from the buffet before 19.30 and during the interval.

Admission is normally £3.00 for members and £5.00 for non-members.

Free parking on site.
