Hi,

My name is Eddie.

I live in Teignmouth and count myself fortunate to have grown up in such a beautiful area surrounded by stunning scenery..

My photo stream is as much about where I've been as it is about where I am. Amongst the railway pictures are glimpses into who I am who are the important people in my world and what I have done with my life.

Why Stapleton Road ? Well...as a lad and a keen trainspotter, my cohort and traveling companion was called Lawrence Hill. We were pretty much always seen together so we became known as Lawrence Hill and Stapleton Road.

For those who are still non the wiser...Lawrence Hill is a station in the suburbs of Bristol whose neighbouring station is Stapleton Road.

I naturally evolved into railway photography, I started as a train spotter on Teignmouth and Newton Abbot stations during the hydraulic era with the occasional trip further afield. This progressed into travelling behind the locos and thus exploring pretty much the whole network. I loved those Class 50s. Work family mortgage slowed things down but i did manage to spend 5 years doing some video work during the late 80s and early 90s. View my You Tube site by following the link.

Just when i had resigned myself to spending my days viewing my old shots my good friend Richard Burgess (Richie B) introduced me to Flickr and there i was , off and running again. Its a great platform to share our pictures but above all

I really welcome peoples comments.
