William Morris

William Morris was a keen photographer. And here is a shot or his new car with Templecombe shed’s 4631 picking up a couple of empty wagons from the small yard at Catcott. 

Wagon fanciers will notice the pre war private owner colliery liveries. Not uncommon around this time, for often all British Railways did was to paint a BR number on, and not repaint the wagon, allowing the paintwork to simply fade away.

William Morris was a qualified professional light bulb changer, and always had a folding ladder with him - which in this instance allowed him the pleasure of this slightly elevated view. 

William was really rather ahead of his time though, because in the olden days most could change their own lighbulbs, unlike the younger generations of today who quite often struggle with such unless it’s an app on their phone. Gosh, I’m cynical today.
