Searching for lost Volk's photograph
2:23pm Friday 16th May 2008
Readers may remember Volk's Electric Railway Association being presented with the original model of the "daddy long legs"
car, Pioneer, by the son of an employee of Volk's Railway (The Argus, February 27). In addition he also gave us some photographs and press cuttings.
The cutting of the reopening of Volk's Railway after the war was easily identified as from The Brighton and Hove Herald, dated May 15, 1948.
It shows a new photo of the 1883 original opening which had been taken end on to the car.
Do any readers know where the Brighton and Hove Herald got the photo from? It must have existed in 1948? Are there any Herald staff who might know where it came from? Could it be in a private collection of one of the staff photographers?
