Steaming Through Wessex Volume 2

We are delighted to announce the second volume in the remarkable series of archive films taken by by Douglas Seaton in the 1940s and 1950s. This volume contains more 16mm film in full colour and some very rare black & white footage taken in the 1920s and 1930s providing such scenes as early Southern locomotives on the South Western main line in the Farnborough area.  More footage has come to light since volume one of the Yeovil area and Weymouth quay with paddle steamers, plus much more film on the Abbotsbury branch in 1947, a long-closed branch from Upwey. Views of the Lyme Regis branch and in Cornwall, at Dawlish and also with the railway in Poole Park from these early times. Films from liners in Southampton in 1953 and from shipping at Falmouth.
