The Brian Leighton Collection
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 (Lofty) 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.

Ipswich Locoshed Turntable
Another view of the Ransomes and Rapier 70ft turntable this time facing Halifax Junction. The signal box can be seen in the distance. The line curving away to the left is the branch to Griffin Wharf.
