RAVENGLASS Railway Museum has acquired a collection of 44 negatives of pictures taken by Henry Cyril Casserley.The lot, secured at an auction,
comprises photographs taken by the famed photographer during a visit on September 14, 1950, to Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. The pictures were taken during a period when money and materials were scarce and the railway faced an uncertain future, providing a view of the task facing the then fledgling preservation society.
Casserley was accompanied during the visit by fellow photographer Alfred Croughton, whose pictures are already held in Ravenglass Railway Museum’s archive.
