Edwin O Catford

Transport Photographs

We are indebted to Edwin O Catford for the many photographs he took of early trams and buses in the streets of Edinburgh, and for his many  posed photographs taken inside Edinburgh  Corporation Transport Department's depots and workshops.

EO Catford was head of the corporation transport, and was obviously keen to record views of his vehicles, both on the road and in the depots and workshops, though he was never employed by Edinburgh Corporation as their official transport photographer.

Many old books on the history of Edinburgh's transport, and this web site, contain views by EO Catford.

Most of the details above are taken from: The work of Reginald P Phillimore in old picture postcards (Introduction)
