Looking Back: Once a railway enthusiast always...

Ian Holt (left) and Chris Pinion were volunteers at Nene Valley Railway when Chris took their photo in 1981. Ian was the driver for the Danish steam locomotive Tinkerbell and Chris was the fireman.

In 2021 Chris was reunited with them and Tinkerbell which was undergoing a major restoration at Wansford.

Chris volunteered at Nene Valley for 44 years, worked at Baker Perkins for 29 years and is married with one son.

Ian volunteered at NVR for over 30 years and in 1982 became a firefighter for Cambridgeshire and then Norfolk.

He retired in 2006 and now lives on the east coast where he designs and builds miniature trains.

Ian has three sons, two daughters and numerous grandchildren.

•Street photographer Chris Porsz’s unique reunion pictures – where he recreates pictures he took decades ago – has earned him international recognition.

Back in 2009 the Peterborough Telegraph gave Chris his weekly column 'Paramedic Paparazzo' from which his 'Reunions' project was born when readers saw their pictures from decades ago.

Most of his pictures feature Peterborough people and places and are often the result of painstaking detective work by Chris to track down his subjects.

His second book, Reunions II, is now available. Go to chrisporsz.com for purchase details.
