Newton Abbot and the surrounding area in the 1970s
Newton Abbot and the surrounding area in the 1970s Hi there, I'm Andy a.k.a. Western Cameraman. In this short video I share with you just a few of the many photographs taken by me in the 1970s around Newton Abbot, which has always been one of my favourite railway locations even from a young age. I’m having so much fun re-visiting those memories and carefully doing everything I can to bring the images up to the best possible standard for you to enjoy. If this video leaves you wanting more, head over to https://westerncameraman.com and dip into more than two hundred pictures all taken by me, and there are many, many more yet to be added. Thanks for watching… please enjoy.
