This is the original forum of the Bristol Railway Archive that existed between 2003 and 2013. I finally rescued it after it seemed unrecoverable after a large crash. I have made it available for viewing. It is locked, all posts to the new version please!
Use this forum to talk about the railways in and around Bristol, or for any off-topic stuff you want to share. Also request photos and information that you are missing.

The website is Simon Whittingham's of this ear parish! He's happy for me to use his photos, and when I get my act together (!) they'll appear on here!
Time has not been on my side of late, and I've always been crap at finding time to write emails... I'll get there in the end though. Remember how long it took me to get your pics of Hallen Oil terminal online... Bloody rubbish, me.

well technically ex-of this ear parish having moved away rather longer ago than I care to remember with only the occassional trip back "home".
Glad every one likes the pictures. These two were a happy surprise, my scanner gave up the ghost and I bought a new one which scans negatives.
Found some large square negs in the loft. I loaded these into the scanner and lo and behold... These two were taken with a Kodak Brownie (as were all my early ones on here) a christmas present in 1969 if memory serves: No focus, shutter or appeture control....just point and click and a few weeks later a rather poor set of photos back in the post!
Any time you want these or any others for the web site Pete, they are yours. - well after Andy's I'd rather see some of his on here first
