Administrative / biographical background: |
The first Public Relations Office at Euston was established by the LNWR. It employed photographers who travelled throughout the LNWR network, photographing events, buildings and train services. The area they covered expanded on grouping in 1923, and the archive these photographers created is now held by the NRM as the LMS collection. On nationalisation the Euston department performed the same role for British Railways' London Midland Region, producing official images similar to the work of their LNWR and LMS predecessors. |
