Saturday 2nd December 2023 – Stephen Rowson presenting: Ian L. Wright's, Railway photographs of 1940s and 50s.

For railways Ian preferred the personality of the branch line and was influenced more by the likes of Camwell and Casserley than by the main-line photographers of anonymous trains at speed. But he added a humanity to his pictures that was missing from the work of these great photographers. Ian died in January last year at the age of 95.
