Robert Ellis James-Robertson (but always known as Ellis) lived at
Worcester from the mid-1950s and travelled extensively around the
country building up a large railway archive. In the early 1960s a
few of Ellis's photographs were published in books and magazines
and the credit 'R. E. James-Robertson' may be familiar to some.
This book of mainly unpublished colour and black and white
photographs has been created entirely from Ellis's collection
within about a 35 miles radius of Worcester, it will appeal to
railway enthusiasts, modellers, and those with an interest in local
history. The time period covered is from the mid-1950s through to
the mid-1960s, steam is the predominant traction throughout
together with occasional shots of early diesel power. Coverage
includes much of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, and
Worcestershire, plus the Birmingham area. Ellis and his wife Norah
celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary in 2013, and Ellis
passed on in April 2015 aged 92. Their daughters, Louisa and Fiona,
contacted filmmaker and author Michael Clemens whose late father
was a friend of Ellis's. Ellis's collection lives on today at films
shows around the country given by the author and now in this first
of a number of books using his photographic archive.
