The Final Decade: the 1960s railway scene – a second selection showcases more photographs from the Paul Hocquard collection. Pauls masterful photography captured key changes, which were part of the transformation of the Victorian railway to a modern network intended for a modern time. This revolution was to be the biggest change the railway had witnessed in over a century and would see the end of steam, the introduction of diesel and electric traction and the closure of literally thousands of miles of track. Paul Hocquard had the foresight to seek out and permanently record the unusual, the last survivors and at times the downright bizarre, images which Kevin Robertson has compiled here, showing a landscape which would soon change beyond all recognition.
