Home > Archives > The V J Bradley Collection
This collection of material was presented to the ILS by Vic Bradley in April 2012. Some additional items were added in 2015. It consists largely of photocopies of material gathered by Vic from various sources over the years. Vic retained most of the material gathered during his own research in North Wales and this is now in the Industrial Railway Society’s archive.
