Many sources have been used to compile this history.

Copyright belongs to the original authors and their permission has NOT been obtained to use any of their work.

A lot of my research was done in the 1980's when I didn't understand how to record what I had found. Where known, acknowledgement of the origins of photos and information has been given on the relevant page but as said above the Group must assume for the most part that they do not have permission to use any item contained here and that it may be contravening Copyright Laws simply by having them on this laptop.

The only exceptions to this are:-

1) I and other Group members have provided some photos - in doing so I pass ownership of my images to the Group.

2) At the Book Launch event a number of photographs were provided by the web site www.disused-railways.org.uk for specific use at this event. I'm sure that if asked they would grant permission for their use again if required.
