THE GAVIN MORRISON COLLECTION

Volume 4

1967 - 1968

Gavin Morrison needs no introduction to most railfans – his evocative photographs of British steam during the glory days are justifiably well known and loved throughout the world.

However, few people realize that Gavin Morrison is also a talented film cameraman, and while out photographing steam he often turned his attention to producing a superb high quality film record as well. Much of the footage in this brand new series has never been viewed publicly before – and certainly not in this unique form.

The Gavin Morrison Collection is a highly original chronological series, spanning the years from 1962 to the early years of preservation after the end of main line steam in 1968. These superb programmes give a fresh and stunning new insight into the glorious years of steam, and will quickly grow to become one of the most important archive series ever produced.

Volume 4 of this exciting chronological series features wonderfully evocative steam days action including:-

• Shap Steam – at the end of 1967.

• Final days of steam in the West Riding – Whitehill Curve, St. Dunstans, Greatland, Bradford Valley Goods, Bradford Forster Square,

• Plus last weekend of Steam in NE Region.

• The Isle of Man – re-opening day May 1967.

• Specials – May 1967 45562 on the Royal train, first trip in preservation of 60019.

• Leeds–Settle–Carlisle Leeds, Bell Busk, Helwith Bridge, Selside, Ribblehead, Birkett, plus last BR Steam Freight over the S & C.

• The End of BR Steam - Colne van trains with 45110 and 45407. End of Steam Specials.
