Glass Negatives - Various Subjects

This section contains images produced from glass negatives. They date from around the 1920s. It is believed that they were officially produced by the Railway Companies. Some are, unfortunately, cracked but a process is in hand to rectify the damaged images. The improved images will appear as they are completed. Copies of these images are available for purchase but due to the costs involved there is an extra charge of £2 per images (please see the Order Form).
