Author Description

Until 1938, Edwin Catford worked for Edinburgh Corporation Transport Department as its chief electrician, where he made important contributions to the ongoing development of the city's trams. In addition to his day job, he took scores of transport-related photographs around Edinburgh, principally for personal interest but also to illustrate the department's magazine, Speed, of which he was editor. This book showcases a selection of his photographs, capturing a unique era in Edinburgh's transport history.
