Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway collection Historical background: Willie Brayshaw Yeadon was born in Yeadon in the West Riding of Yorkshire on 28 June 1907. After his schooldays, he trained to become a mechanical engineer, and started work with Bradford Dyers, but was unfortunately made redundant in 1930 following the onset of terrible trading conditions. In 1931 he joined JH Fenner Ltd in Hull ('makers of improved beltings'), eventually becoming Sales Manager and then Marketing Manager, until his official retirement in 1972.

By then he had become probably the country's leading authority on the London & North Eastern Railway and its locomotives. Indeed, Eric Fry, honorary editor of 'Locomotives of the LNER', writing in the 'Railway Observer' in March 1997, described him as possibly 'the foremost locomotive historian of all time'. Willie Yeadon's earliest railway interest had been the London & North Western Railway, with visits and family holidays to Shap summit and Tebay. On his removal to Hull, however, the London & North Eastern Railway became his main preoccupation, and he was particularly inspired by the development and progress of Sir Nigel Gresley's Pacific class locomotives during the 1930s. He began to collect railway photographs in 1933, and continued his interest after railway nationalisation in 1948. The British Railways modernisation programme undertaken from the mid - 1950s prompted him to investigate and record the history of every LNER locomotive. This involved him in visits to locomotive sheds and railway engineering works throughout the old LNER territory ranging from north - east Scotland to London. He was regularly successful at salvaging ledgers and other records discarded by railway staff, particularly at Doncaster and Darlington - a task facilitated by his travels on behalf of his employer. He was an active member of the Stephenson Locomotive Society and the Railway Correspondence and Travel Society for decades, but it is perhaps for his publications that he will be best remembered. He was a major contributor to the RCTS's definitive 'Locomotives of the LNER' published in 19 volumes between 1963 and 1994. Yeadon had joined the RCTS in 1936 and when in 1954 the Society decided to commence its history he was an obvious choice to join the panel of authors. He was made an honorary life member of the Society in 1984. His other publications included the equally valuable 'Yeadon's Register of LNER Locomotives' (Irwell Press/Challenger Publications, 1990 - 1997), which he started when over 80 years old.

Historical background:Willie Brayshaw Yeadon was born in Yeadon in the West Riding of Yorkshire on 28June 1907. After his schooldays, he trained to become a mechanical engineer, andstarted work with Bradford Dyers, but was unfortunately made redundant in 1930following the onset of terrible trading conditions.

The London & North Eastern Railway was the second largest company established as aresult of the grouping of railway companies in Great Britain effective from 1 January1923. It covered most of the East of England and Scotland, from London to the MorayFirth, with outposts in the west around Carlisle, Mallaig and Wrexham. There wereseven major constituent companies, namely: The Great Northern Railway, The GreatCentral Railway, The Great Eastern Railway, The North Eastern Railway, The Hull &Barnsley, Railway, The North British Railway, and The Great North of Scotland Railway.
The Great Northern Railway, with its workshops centred on Doncaster, became thedominant influence, largely because its Locomotive Engineer, Nigel Gresley, becameChief Mechanical Engineer of the LNER, and remained so for most of its shortexistence. The GNR was established in 1846 and had 1051 route miles and 1359locomotives. Its main route ran from King's Cross in London to Doncaster and Leeds.
The Great Central Railway was the descendant of the Manchester, Sheffield andLincolnshire Railway formed in 1849 and was thus named in 1897. It had 855 routemiles and 1358 locomotives. Its routes included the Cheshire Lines Committee, andextended via Nottingham and Leicester to London Marylebone.
The Great Eastern Railway, formed in 1862, was the successor to the Eastern CountiesRailway. It had 1191 route miles and 1336 locomotives, serving primarily agriculturalareas in East Anglia, with extensive London suburban services based on LiverpoolStreet Station.
The North Eastern Railway had 1866 route miles and 2156 locomotives. It was formedin 1854, and amalgamated with the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1863. Its main lineran from York to Berwick, and it worked with the GNR and the North British Railway tooperate mainline services to Scotland. It took over the Hull & Barnsley Railway justbefore grouping.
The Hull & Barnsley Railway was established in 1880 as an attempt to break the NER'smonopoly in Hull. It had 106 route miles and 181 locomotives and its main line ran fromHull to Cudworth near Barnsley. The take - over by the NER took place in April 1922.
The North British Railway was established in 1844. It had 1378 route miles and 1075locomotives. Its routes included that between Berwick and Edinburgh, plus most of theScottish coalfields.
The Great North of Scotland Railway, established in 1846, had 334 route miles and 122locomotives. Its routes were concentrated north of Aberdeen and it was actuallydetached from the rest of the LNER system, relying on running powers over CaledonianRailway Company (later part of the London Midland & Scottish) tracks to reachAberdeen.
The LNER also owned two - thirds of the Cheshire Lines Committee (the rest was LMS -owned), and was joint owner of the Isle of Axholme Railway. It took over the operationof the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway from 1936 and from 1937 assumedresponsibility for the former Metropolitan Railway in and around London.

The business headquarters of the LNER was Marylebone Station in London. The firstchairman was William Whitelaw, former chairman of the North British Railway. He wassucceeded in 1938 by Sir Ronald Matthews. Sir Ralph Wedgwood became the firstgeneral manager, to be succeeded by Sir Charles Newton in 1939. Three individualsoccupied the post of Chief Mechanical Engineer: Sir Nigel Gresley (1923 - 1941),Edward Thompson (1941 - 1946), and AH Peppercorn (1946 - 1947). There wereusually just over 200,000 employees for most of the company's existence, and still195,100 in 1947. Its multifarious activities also took in steamship services, docks andquays, hotels, and bus companies, such as East Yorkshire Motor Services Ltd. TheCompany suffered greatly from adverse trading conditions for most of its existence. TheLNER came under Government control on the outbreak of war in 1939, and wasnationalised with the rest of British railways with effect from 1 January 1948, when allpowers were vested in the British Transport Commission. At that point LNER's southernarea became the Eastern region of British Railways and the North Eastern area formedthe North Eastern region. LMS and LNER lines in Scotland were merged to form BR'sScottish Region.
Despite the adverse trading conditions, the LNER embarked on an impressive policy ofrationalisation and building, notably the Gresley - designed A4 streamlined Pacific class,and as late as 1947 announced the building of 25 diesel - electric locomotives that wereto spell the beginning of the end for steam power.
Nevertheless, during its existence the LNER owned about 10000 steam locomotives,with a total of 7399 in 1923 and 6545 in 1947. Indeed, much administrative and practicaleffort was put into organising their location and numbering, a fact reflected in WillieYeadon's own almost obsessive interest in shed allocations and locomotive re-numbering.
Custodial History:Donated by the executors of WB Yeadon, on 5 Feb 1997.
Description:This substantial collection relating to the London & North Eastern Railway is in threemain parts: photographic material; research notes and files by Mr Yeadon; and originalrailway company records.
The photographic collection is very extensive, with over 31000 photographs present.The bulk of these are held in a series of photograph albums (U DYE/1/2 - 135) asarranged by Yeadon in several sequences: LNER locomotives (in class order); LNERtrains (again in locomotive class order); and aspects of LNER locomotives and trains,including named trains, liveries, exhibitions and parades, and so on. Each album hasbeen meticulously assembled, with the photographs accompanied by detailed and veryinformative hand - written notes. This is followed (U DYE/1/136 - 177) by severalthousand individual photographs which were categorised by Yeadon on a thematic orsubject basis, such as 'Great Northern Railway', 'Hull & Barnsley Railway', or 'Tenders'.As with the contents of the albums, these photographs were obtained by Mr Yeadonfrom multifarious sources, and the provenance is usually indicated, frequently with briefnotes. However, many specimens have no accompanying information. Accordingly, MrYeadon's rough classification has been retained. General details about the contents ofeach batch of photographs are provided in the list of the collection, but it has not beenpossible to catalogue them individually.

Section 2 comprises research notebooks, files and other research papers by WBYeadon. The division between this section and section 3 (original LNER records) issomewhat arbitrary, as Mr Yeadon had a habit of inter - filing his own and originalmaterial, and also of continuing and updating (in some cases even correcting) thecontents of original LNER records. This section is in itself a potentially rich source forrailway historians. It includes the core working notebooks for Yeadon's 'Register ofLNER locomotives' (in 9 volumes at U DYE/2/1 - 9). There are also copies of variousboiler registers (U DYE/2/10 - 15), and particularly extensive notes and files onlocomotive shed allocations (U DYE/2/22 - 28) and locomotive/ tender numbering(U DYE/2/29 - 35). Files relating to the Hull area (U DYE/2/41 - 42) inevitably containmuch valuable documentary and statistical information, plus facsimiles of originaldocuments.
The third section is again a very varied artificial collection of original LNER recordsacquired by Mr Yeadon from various sources. Most of it was literally thrown away (or onthe point of being thrown away) by staff at workshops at Doncaster, Darlington andelsewhere, and would have been lost but for Mr Yeadon's intervention. The material hasbeen roughly ordered in this catalogue on the basis of type (such as registers,locomotive repairs, special fittings, liveries, and so on) rather than of provenance -largely because a fair proportion of the items are effectively anonymous. Also, mostsections have been arranged purely in date order, thereby presenting the logicalprogression from pre-grouping companies, to the LNER, and then (in some cases) toBritish Railways, within each category. Particularly significant items include GNR stockregisters from 1896 (U DYE/3/2 - 3); AC Stamer's list of NER locomotives, dated 1920,but covering the period 1864 - 1952 (U DYE/3/1); and Darlington construction orders,starting in 1923, with some signed by the LNER's Chief Mechanical Engineer, Sir NigelGresley (U DYE/3/13).
There are numerous locomotive repair records from both the Darlington and Doncasterworkshops, including several hundred repair records for individual locomotives betweenthe 1920s and 1940s (U DYE/3/14-289). Boiler records (including repairs and re -numbering) are also quite extensive, with examples from the ex - Great Central Railway,ex - North Eastern Railway and ex - Great Northern Railway workshops (U DYE/3/290 -305). The section on special fittings includes records relating to brakes, steam heating,and lubrication (U DYE/3/307-315). There are also items relating to locomotive shedallocations and other changes, particularly from the LNER Southern Area (later EasternRegion) based on Liverpool Street Station in London (U DYE/3/316-323) and the North -Eastern Area (York) (U DYE/3/324-325). The small collection of diagrams and plansincludes an Engine diagram book for the Great North of Scotland section from c.1926(U DYE/3/338) and for the Hull & Barnsley section of the North Eastern Railway inc.1923 (U DYE/3/337), together with a set of some 120 LNER boiler diagrams from the1930s and in some cases updated to c.1958 (U DYE/3/341), and a volume containingdiagrams of 'Specially constructed wagons' probably from the Cowlairs works anddating from about 1930 (U DYE/3/340). Finally in this section, there are a few itemsderived from employees of the Company, including a notebook compiled by PNTownend - sometime Shed Master at King's Cross Locomotive Depot (Top Shed) -between 1941 and 1945, which includes details of journeys made, and other information(U DYE/3/359). There are also four anonymous logbooks compiled by an ex - GreatCentral Railway area driver, apparently based in Northwich, between May 1954 andDecember 1956.

Finally, the small collection of published or printed material includes a Sharpe'scorresponding map of the railways of England and Wales dating from 1847(U DYE/4/1), a copy of the Hull Railway Guide for September 1943 (U DYE/4/6), and aprize specimen - a well-thumbed copy of Risdon Prentice and Peter Proud's 'TheLocomotives of the LNER 1923 - 1937' published by the Railway Correspondence andTravel Society in 1941 (U DYE/4/8).
