| Administrative History | Research by J.H.M. Williamson on the Highland Railways, and the Thurso Branch Line. Born in London “within the sounds of Paddington Station”, he spent many days in Euston Station, with a platform ticket and a lunch box, watching all the comings and goings.
In 1953 he got his first camera and when on holiday in Thurso, he photographed the Station and quizzed the Station Master and that was the start of this project. He took many photographs with detailed descriptions written next to them, gathered cuttings from local newspapers and magazines, and researched other sources, as well as asking friends and retired Railway Staff for their memories. |
