Our grandfather was the famous railway photographer/historianHCCasserley- so we grew up immersed in all things steam railway related! Grandads house was inBerkhamsted andoverlookd the railway line near the old derelict goods yard. Inthe 1970's we made camps in the goods yard and watched the trains hurtle by.
