Title
The Windwood collection of Great Eastern Railway lines official photographs
Date
1910-1911
Description

These official photographs cover Great Eastern Railway lines in East Anglia and London, and although they concentrate on the permanent way they also show bridges, stations, line side features and occasionally locomotives and rolling stock. Most were taken from high vantage points, usually signal boxes or signal posts, but the reason why the photographs were produced is unclear. It is possible that they were commissioned by H F Hilton, Assistant Superintendent of Operations for the GER, who possessed his own set, and were perhaps the work of a company photographer.

The entire collection has been listed with the co-operation of the Great Eastern Railway Society. Reference prints are also available for consultation in the Reading Room.
