The John Dyer Archive


John Dyer’s photographs provide a fascinating glimpse of the steam railway. Most were taken during the late 1950s and early 1960s. John organised his archive of over a thousand images by following the numerical system adopted by British Railways after 1948 and adopted by the Ian Allan trainspotting books published throughout the post-war period. I am grateful to John for giving me access to his file of pictures and allowing me to share them with others. These photos of the Vale of Rheidol Railway were taken at Devil’s Bridge in June 1961.
