The items shown below are part of my personal collection of railway memorabilia. Some of them are useful resources for studying the area's railways and others are just more of a fascinating read. As I'm sure you will appreciate, it is not possible for me to publish on this site the full contents of each item - although I'm sure that would be of interest - so I propose that if there is anything of specific interest, please let me know and I will scan it and email it to you. If I can come up with any way to display the items in greater detail I will do so.

A Railway Clearing House diagram of Birmingham & Bordesley's central railway junctions depicting company ownership of each line.

LNWR zinc paycheck no.557. Not in the greatest condition but an interesting relic nonetheless.

A sign of days gone by: platform tickets! This one from Birmingham Snow Hill in post-GWR days before its untimely closure and 1980s resurrection.

This 1995 leaflet promotes the opening of the Jubilee Line in Birmingham with information on the line and a map. Click on the image to read the entire leaflet.

One of my favourite items: a 3rd Class Windmill End to Longbridge return issued during BR days for 'Workmens Trains' that were the only passenger carrying services post-1919 between Halesowen and Longbridge serving the Austin Motor Company works.

Another interesting item is this LMS New St to Alcester ticket: mainly for the 'via Redditch' recognition of the days when the station was a through route.

A 1964 single Castle Bromwich - Birmingham New Street ticket: of particular interest due to the closure of the former station in 1968.

An undated Hampton in Arden - Lea Hall 2nd class single.

Of particular interest is this 2nd class single from 11/11/68 for Coleshill to Saltley. Coleshill (originally Forge Mills) closed in 1965 and Saltley in 1968.

Another long-gone station, this undated 'Ocean Passenger' ticket including dockyard fees, covers the journey from Wolverhampton Low Level to Plymouth.

This interesting item is a LNWR parcel way bill dated '6th Jan 1886' for an item travelling for 6d from New Street to Chester Road.
