A SET OF FIVE BOUND VOLUMES containing a selection of letters circulars and other related documents issued between 1890’s-1920’s from the Reading Office of the GWR.

Kept in storage and unseen for over 60 years these documents offer an insight into the GWR not normally appreciated by the general public. Potentially worthy of inclusion within Railway Museum archives. Bindings somewhat distressed but all documents clearly legible.  The vendor was a GWR Railway Employee in the S & T department based in Bristol in the late 1940's early 50's and one day he was sent to Taunton to do a job running some electrical cables through the roof space of the "Taunton Signal Depot" and come across a box full of the bound volumes ,he made an appointment to see the current "Signal Inspector" for the area a Mr John Batten who told him "they were of no further use to use lad-so go and tip'em" with that he asked could he please purchase them Sir, so the Inspector issued a scrap sales document and sold them all to him for the outrageous  sum of 9 pence (equivalent today of three and a half new pence) .

A VERY EARLY POINT LEVER ACTIVATING MECHANISM. Made by “DUTTON & CO, WORCESTER”. Once used on the Nantlle Quarry Narrow Gauge system.  The Nantlle Railway (sometimes referred to as the Nantlle Tramway) was a Welsh narrow gauge railway built to carry slate from several slate quarries in the Nantlle Valley to the harbour at Caernarfon for export by sea. The line received its Act of Parliament in 1825 and was constructed by Robert Stephenson, brother of George Stephenson. It opened in 1828 and was operated using horse power. Although built solely for the transport of slate, the line is known to have carried passengers at various times between Caernarfon and Penygroes. The vendor and his father were exploring the site 35 years ago and by accident found it, so they decided to liberate it , which meant carrying it down the mountainside.Size13”x13”.
