Bluehorizon68 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just had a phone call from my mother who informed me that Terry passed away last Sunday 05/05/2019. She new Terry and his wife through her church in Woking Surrey. I understand from conversations with my mum that they lived in or near Sidmouth in Devon. He and his wife spent a lot of time doing charity work out in Vietnam. I have in my book collection several publications by Terry, which I have found are invaluable when researching various railway topics. I only met him once at Woking 150 back in 1988. RIP Terry, may you rest in peace. Heartfelt Condolences to his family and friends. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted May 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hello everyone Indeed a sad loss - one of the 'all-time greats' of steam era and Southern Region photography. He helped me and The 00 Poll Team with photos from time-to-time and I have many of his books. Brian 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold melmoth Posted May 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2019 I met Terry towards the end of last year when he was looking to sell part of his library - he'd already sold his collection of railway tickets and his photographic collection. He had terminal cancer, which he was facing with a calm acceptance. He and his wife were living at Beer Hackett near Yeovil, but were hoping to move to Sidmouth. I think they finally got there at the start of March. I saw him just before this, when he dropped a load of OS maps off to me in Bridport. He was, on the basis of a very short acquaintance, a fine and generous man. Rest in Peace. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 IIRC, he did some of the 'Past and Present' series; a fascinating read. RIP. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glover Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 To avoid any embarrassment, can I take it that this late gentleman is he who wrote a quite inspiring series of articles on converting Hornby GWR clerestories to Southern Railway coaches, in the Railway Modeller in the mid 1960s? Many thanks, Glover 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middlesea John Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Sad news. I think I learned more about Southern coaches from Terry Gough's books and magazine articles than every other source put together. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
