Richard Campbell was a true friend of NELPG, a much liked and respected volunteer who was always there to lend a helping hand with a ready smile complete with that truly unmistakeable cheery twang.
After an engineering apprenticeship at N.E.I. Parsons, Richard joined the Merchant Navy in 1974 as an electrical engineer on oil tankers but after 4 years at sea he came home to set-up his own engineering workshop near Stanley in NW Durham.
Soon he gained a reputation for engineering excellence for his machining work on steam locomotives and all NELPG’s engines benefited from his expertise over the years.
Richard died in June 2016 and will be badly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him. He will always be with us here in NELPG.
After Richard’s passing, his sister Sheila donated his photographic collection to NELPG and Dave Whitfield has scanned the best negatives and prints which are listed here.
They are available as prints (sorry no downloads) and those interested should contact the secretary.
