Mike Musson Collection

Whilst many photographers were careful to note the time, date and place when they took a photograph, over time and particularly when collections were passed onto others without firsthand knowledge errors can occur as to date or location. The following photographs were purchased as being within the Warwickshire Railways remit but subsequently questions have been asked as to whether they have been correctly identified. We have included in the caption the information given on the reverse of the photograph and why we believe its wrong. If you have any comments please use the message box below:
