  An update implemented 12th September 2023 I would like to request you to update the link to my website on yours to https://curnowcollection.com

The Curnow Collection consists of 1500+ images, mainly from Penzance to Paddington, but with some deviation to other locations of significance to me, including different poor quality images which appealed to me and were in danger of loss without repair in PhotoShop. The emphasis is on Penzance for the period 1969 - 1977 when I spent a lot of time on the line side, and earlier imagery that helped me understand what had gone before, and had shaped what I was familiar with.

Thank you for your assistance,
Eric Curnow

Masses of Railway Pictures - highly recommended don’t know if you are aware of this website but I came across it today :

http://www.davidheyscollection.com/index.htm

You may need several days, if not months, to digest everything but is full of interesting facts and thousands of photographs.
If you haven’t seen it before, I’ll leave you to have a browse.

Regards, Martin Scane.
