Welcome to my Lincolnshire Railways fotopic site - a selection of my photos from 1978 until around 2000. All were have been scanned in and were taken on cameras of varying quality (including an old Kodak instamatic - all the square prints were taken on that!). So my apologies right away if quality isn't too great.
I've just bought a new scanner, so I should be publishing some new photos soon - and hopefully the scanning will be improved too. Some of the original prints aren't wearing too well though!
Please leave comments or ask questions - I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. If there's any locations you'd like to see more of, just drop me a message.
Photos viewed are now past 20,000, so thanks to everyone who's taken an interest in this site. I have one more Fotopic site which you might want to visit - "Adam's Images" which contains photos of buses, many in Lincolnshire. There's a link in the minibox below (the other two links are restricted collections of holiday snaps) |
