Sellick Collection
The R. J. Sellick collection is available online from the NRM here. The collection features many photos of the pre-preservation SVR in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The photos are all freely available for non-commercial use with CC-BY-SA-3.0 as long as the original source is attributed - this can be done easily by adding (Sellick collection) in the image caption, and an attribution note on the file page similar to:
From the Sellick collection, hosted online by the National Railway Museum. [link Original Source]
Note that the NRM descriptions contain numerous errors, mostly minor.
List of SV series images
The table below lists the SV series of images in the collection, which relate directly to the Severn Valley line. If the file has been added to the SVR wiki, the link is given. The files are ordered by location, and whilst they are mainly in numerical order, some exceptions exist.
Some of the descriptions on the NRM website are mismatched, and it seems that Image SV 1 of Stourport is missing, with images 2-4 incorrectly numbered 1-3, and image 4 being blank.
The link in the first column will take you to the NRM page, showing the image and its original caption. If the file has been transferred to this site, the last column will link to the file page.
