Irishswissernie Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 This year I have acquired from various sources over 10,000 negatives/slides. Amongst these are approx 6000 rejects from a well known Transport Archive. I have now scanned these and there are a fair number which I cannot identify. I have accordingly uploaded several hundred to my Flickr Account split into UNKNOWN LOCATIONS collections for the various BR regions. As my Christmas present to you all, if you are suffering from a surfeit of Christmas Cheer, relatives etc over the next few weeks, please feel free to have a go at identifying them. Just add a comment to the appropriate photo (s) . Thanks Ernie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0rris Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 http://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/6504760549/in/set-72157628401098369/ I know Beast has beaten me too it but that bridge arrangement is spot on for Oxford. Of note is what looks like an aerial coal lift (like in Get Carter!) in the background which should narrow it down for those of a knowledge of collieries and suchlike... I don't know about any in the WR though (I could be wrong). http://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/6505129761/in/photostream/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike2steam Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Oh brilliant stuff, had a quick glimpse at the first 10 pages, and came up with these engine shed possibilities b396 & 430 Guildford b887 Burton On Trent b781 Cricklewood b536 Basingstoke b552 Nine Elms b401 Feltham b398 Southall but I wouldn't say I'm 100% certain.

DonB Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 This year I have acquired from various sources over 10,000 negatives/slides. ..... . I have now scanned these ...... Ernie Can you tell us what equipment you used to scan B/W negatives. I have a Canon Pixma 3000 from which I can't get usable B/W scans (colour slides are OK!), and a dedicated unit recently sold by Curries (and others)for about £75 has had some bad reviews. I have about 200 negatives to scan, or suggestions of other means of retrieving welcome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian daniels Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I reckon b398 is Southall. b383 is Southall, train on the up relief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not - I am fairly sure that it's Oxford (looking south towards the station. Look at the big bracket signal in the left hand background then look at the view below identified as, correctly, Oxford which is a view from the north end of the platform looking north with the same large bracket structure in the background.

I have about 200 negatives to scan, or suggestions of other means of retrieving welcome [ I use an Epson V700 Photo Scanner. This will scan up to A4 size negatives/photos individually or you can use various holders to scan up to 24 35mm negs or 12 slides automatically. You can also digitally clean the material or colour correct items. (The 90 plus Isle of Wight slides I have just added to Flickr had all been rejected originally due to colour shift) Price is around £400 on Amazon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Another quick run through the unknown list I've come up with these possibilities, I won't put them in my flicker account as I'm not 100% certain as I'm relying on approx. 50 years memory. b224 Cricklewood b385 Willesden b523 Toton b571 Annesley b779 Watford b881 Oxley b447 Stewarts Lane b458 Brighton (certain) b601 Ramsgate b572 Oxford b240 Worcester b676 Southall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 14, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 14, 2011 I can't find b572 from a quick look but b573 is quite likely Oxford (nowhere near enough background to allow positive ID). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted December 14, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 14, 2011 photo b300 don't know the loc, but 1A41 in the WTT 1962/63 from napier-chronicles.co.uk is the 'anglo-scottish car carrier', 11.48 edinburgh-holloway from then up until 9/1966 it's the 11.40 edin-holloway (cars) from 9/1966 until 3/1967 it's the 10.05 perth-holloway (cars) i think these are newton-chambers TCVs in maroon, so would date it from 1962 - whenever the TCVs got blue/grey b235, although not a railway pic, is definitely st. andrews, probably taken from the top of st. rule's church, looking north Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
