David Hayes Illustrator & Author

Born in Nottingham in the 1950s, David Hayes was exposed early on to the sight and sound of steam locomotives hauling a procession of coal trains on their way to Toton yard. Fascination and number collecting were inevitable. By his late teens this translated into railway photography and recording the 1970s scene around the country became a passion.
