During my young teenage years I frequently spent time round the corner at Conway Street bus garage, probably from before my paper-round times which had given me an interest in buses, then later electrically propelled transport, just UK based, like Brighton Trams, Trolleybuses, Volks Railway and various Milk Floats.

Collecting many transport related items over the years, from about 1993 I had since created a library of transport and local images, providing others with the Sussex views from our slide and negative library to industry, publications and enthusiasts, then through a postal newsletter between 2009 & 2012.

We have provided talks using this library too, with a very small number shown here, many as yet un published. Overall this is a personal collection however its for others to enjoy too.

Flickr is all about showing and sharing, mindful of the visible markings, do enjoy and share these views within Flickr, happy for these to go onto related groups, but please if for elsewhere please do ask first. You can always ask us about adding some real photos to your own collection. Besides the photographs we also offer an exclusive range of commemoratives too, in particular our Enamel Pin Badges since 2018, and in 2019 recommenced publishing Greetings Cards on different themes. After four years from an author first draft we published his book in September of 2021, our first with an ISBN, maybe more to follow.

Ask for our latest catalogue or download a PDF from our home page.

Apologies to those who dislike our watermarks but your view is mildly spoilt by this due to already finding many of our library being used and even sold without permission, and yes we do have the legal rights obtained with the collections! Any image within our library, please ask before using in a publication or sharing, its the decent thing to do, gives the original photographer due credit, and the information or provenance behind it.

Since holidaying abroad in various locations, we found an ideal base in Lisbon to enjoy a warm climate late on in the year, made a good tram friend who now allows us to import these Lisbon Model Trams to the UK, so if trams are your interest like me, do take a look at my Albums and Gallery on this topic. Eventually I may add many of the views I now have from our trips abroad on the transport theme.

Any search on the www for Dinnages & a related transport topic ought to find us outside of Flickr.

My own shots have been from 1990 on a compact 35mm, moved to an APS for a while, back to 35mm on a fairly decent SLR while other snaps on Nokia mobile phones and now those iPhones too. My current proper camera is an Olympus O-MD E-M10 MKI with a variety of lenses.

So often through its not what you take it on, its being in the right place right time to get that unusual shot not being in a line-up with others taking the same, therefore in many cases a poor shot or less than perfect is better than missing something unique altogether, which as enthusiasts from as far back as the box brownie camera views were taken for the photographers own pleasure and were never intended for publication, yet today the views are much of interest.
