Rt. Revd. Eric Treacy MBE LLD

Flicking through a number of old magazines passed to me by a friend here in Telford, I came across a supplement published by The Railway Magazine in December 1990, “Eric Treacy: The Classic Years.”

Treacy’s photographs are now in the National Archive collection at Kew They are ©Crown Copyright and covered by an Open Government Licence which permits copying of images in the collection for non-commercial use. This covers the photographs from the collection which were reproduced in the 1990 supplement.

The Rt. Revd. Eric Treacy MBE, LLD, Lord Bishop of Wakefield from 1968 until 1976, died on Appleby Station on 13th May 1978. He left behind a large collection of railway photographs, taken over more than four decades.

On a certain other UK related forum, there's a whole thread about why railways and clergy are such overlapping circles on a Venn diagramme (although not expressed as such).

 

Yes Simon, and I possibly participated in it!
