This is one of my favourite photos taken in 1961 at Snow Hill station, Birmingham.
The photo took me a long time to restore as the negative was badly scratched but I feel that the effort was worth it. I am always surprised at how much detail can be extracted from these old pictures and am pleased that the sky plays an important part in the success of the image.
The small boy gives the whole scene a sense of the excitement of the 60s as steam came to an end on the railways of Britain.
