H. C. Casserley
Henry Cyril Casserley〔full name established from entries in (【引用サイトリンク】title= British Library integrated catalogue )〕 (12 June 1903 – 16 December 1991)〔''Great railway photographers: H. C. Casserley'' presented by Colin Garratt in association with Richard Casserley, Milepost 92½ in association with Arcturus Publishing for Selectabook, 1996, ISBN 1-900193-55-8, pages 3–9〕 was a British photographer of steam railways. His prolific work in the 1920s and 1930s, the result of travelling to remote corners of the railway network in the United Kingdom and Ireland, has provided subsequent generations with a valuable source of illustrations for books and magazines.
==Life==
Henry Cyril Casserley was born in Clapham, South London, the son of Edward Casserley, a minor Post Office official, and his wife Sarah (née Turton). Edward Casserley loved mechanical objects and constructed from scratch a model railway in the loft, which may have inspired his son's enthusiasm for trains. Henry spent his working life in the head offices of the Prudential Assurance Company in London (evacuated to Derby in World War 2). He married Kathleen Goose on 16 July 1931. Full details of their family are not published, but they had at least one son, Richard, born 1936 or 1937, who also took up photography and has latterly acted as custodian of his father's collection.〔''Great railway photographers: H. C. Casserley'', op. cit., page 7〕
The family lived beside the railway line just east of Bromley South railway station from 1931 to 1939 but moved to a house on a new estate at Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, because the electrification of the Southern Railway greatly reduced the number of steam trains passing Bromley. Casserley acquired his first motor car in 1934, which aided his reaching obscure small railway lines and investigating windmills, in which he had also developed an interest.〔''Great railway photographers: H. C. Casserley'', op. cit., pages 30–31〕
He was in military service from 1942–1944, mostly based in the Army stores section at Bicester, but was invalided out and returned to his job at the Prudential. He retired in 1964 and devoted himself to his 'second career' as photographer and writer. His wife died in about 1986 and his interest and memory then declined until his death, aged 88.
