About Me

I was born in Southampton, and I am currently studying archaeology at the University of Bristol. When not there, I live in the Hampshire village of Swanmore.

Interests

As well as archaeology, I am keen on anything mechanical or transport related, including aircraft, boats/ships, tractors, locomotives (both steam and diesel) and cars (especially Land Rovers).

In terms of archaeology, I am especially interested in the Industrial Revolution and its associated technology, which is where my interest in railways came from. I tend to 'read up' most on the pre-grouping era railways in the UK, especially the late 19th/early 20th centuries.

Current Projects

Main Work

• Meon Valley Railway- the only article I started from scratch, I am continuing to dig up information on this subject. Currently I am trying to track down suitable period photographs. At some point I will sit down and do all the in-text references if no one gets there first.

Others

• Hot Bulb Engine
• Diesel Engine- plus associated articles such as turbodiesel.
• Land Rover Series
• Land Rover Defender
• Antonov AN2

Future Projects

If I can gather the required sources, I would like to add more to:

• Great Eastern Railway
• Bishops Waltham Branch
• London, Brighton and South Coast Railway
• R101
