Thanks are also due to Dr Peter Lewis and Mal Clark for their assistance in sourcing the Tay Bridge documents.

A number of people have also assisted with other parts of the site. So thanks to:

Stuart Johnson for supplying a complete set of 20th century accident data and allowing its use in the archive.

John Dixon for supplying a copy of his complete 19th century accident listing (thus saving us thousands of manhours of work) and allowing its use in the archive.

John at The Signal Box (www.signalbox.org) for the use of his railway company data.

FreeFoto.com (www.freefoto.com) for the use of some of the photos on this site.

The Republic of Pemberley (www.pemberley.com) for the Rowlandson image which adorns our homepage.

Chetham's Library (www.chethams.org.uk) for the image of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway.

 

...and most of all, thanks to my wife Claire for keeping the tea flowing, and putting up with the PHP-related swearing essential to building this site. I love you.
