The J.W. Sutherland Photograph collection


Davenport Station website


These images are from the photographs taken, by the late J.Wallace Sutherland of Davenport, and are presented here by kind permission of Mrs Sutherland who hopes other enthusiasts will enjoy them.

A few of the pictures are by other photographers, credited in the captions where known. Anyone claiming copyright on an image is invited to contact us and it will be removed.  If you use any of Mr Sutherland's images, please credit them to J.W. Sutherland.


Colour Transparencies


These images are from the 35mm colour slides of railway, tram and ship views taken, mostly on Agfa film, between 1961 and 1995. The scans are low-resolution, and do not respresent the full quality of the originals, which are deposited with the Manchester Locomotive Society.

The captions are copied from Mr Sutherland's notes on each slide mount. The Box numbers have been allocated at the time of scanning, and are in very approximate date order, based only on the brand of slide and type of box. Not all numbers have been used.
