Details of The Sheppard Collection
Reference: The Sheppard Collection
Title: The R W Sheppard collection of photographs showing lines in and around Nottingham
Description:

It is composed of medium format film negatives, prints and 35mm colour slides showing lines in and around Nottingham. There are photographs of static locomotives and passing trains, but large numbers of these images show only the permanent way or railway infrastructure. Typical locations featured in the collection are Nottingham Victoria station, Spalding, Pinxton, Basford, Bulwell Common, Bulwell North Junction, Babbington Junction, and Leamington Spa. Sheppard also went further afield, to Carlisle, in 1952.

 

No list is available, but ten albums of prints that may be viewed on request provide a key to the collection.

 

The NRM acquired the Sheppard Collection in 1982.
