About this title

Synopsis

Southern Region Flashbacks was the idea of David Kimber using material from his late father's collection. The result is a carefully chosen selection of views commencing at Bournemouth (then part of Hampshire) and running east through the New Forest to Brockenhurst. The variety of trains, locomotives and workings seen are in stark contrast to the bland variety of today. Beyond Southampton we feature examples from the work of another mainly unpublished contemporary photographer, Henry Meyer, whose own material similarly places the train well and truly in the landscape. (Other Henry Meyer work has received much applause when seen in Southern Way.) The title concludes with views around Winchfield and Farnborough, this time the work of Edward Griffiths. This new title features a variety of great mono photographs. David Kimber brings the South Western main line to life in sixty-four pages of stunning imagery.
