"David Wroe Archive"
This is an archive of papers, drawings, photos and research notes collected by the late David Wroe.
It covers all aspects of permanent way, but is particularly strong on the Southampton area, the LSWR and the Southern Railway.
There is much to do with the Southampton Branch of the PWI.
