The Brian Leighton Collection
Gallery at present work in progress. Enjoy a journey back in time to steam days mostly in the Ipswich/East Suffolk area. Most of the shots were taken by Brian Leighton who was a railwayman based at Ipswich depot. The majority date from the fifties/sixties. Many thanks to Ian and Ruby Leighton for permission to publish the photos. Unfortunately most of the images had no descriptions and I would be grateful if anyone could identify some of the mystery locations or engines.

The line to the extreme right drops down to the lower Yard and the Docks via Ranelagh Road gates. Sproughton Sugar Beet Factory can be seen in the distance with its associated clouds of emissions.
