Description

Between 1922 and 1934 the late E. Wallis was employed by the Signal Department of the Southern Railway. During this time he went to work with a glass-plate camera recording scenes and locations - not trains - often from the lofty vantage point of a convenient signal! The result is a veritable feast of detail hitherto largely ignored by contemporary photographers or either impossible to access. The Wallis archive is considerable, in excess of 1,000 period images, few of which have ever been seen before. Now thanks to the Wallis family, Noodle Books have been granted permission to the entire collection. This new volume has collected together some of the very best images covering all three areas of the SR, fromthe SECR, LBSCR through to the LSWR. Detailed and informative captions complete a book that surely deserves a prominent place on the bookshelves of every Southern enthusiast.

Author Biography:

Kevin Robertson had his first article on the local railway published when he was just 14. He took up full-time writing in 1982 and since then has had numerous books on the railway scene published, including The Leader Project: Fiasco or Triumph? which was published by Ian Allan Publishing in 2007 to critical and commercial acclaim. He has written a wide selection of books for the Ian Allan list, and is a particular expert on all things relating to the Southern Region. Kevin also runs his own publishing company, Noodle Books, and currently lives in Corhampton in Hampshire.
