‘Some 30,000 of these posters just got burnt at Waterloo station in the 1960s, they would be worth about £20million today, I would estimate the collection of posters are worth about £600,000, the original artwork about £250,000 and the railway ephemera about £50,000'
sadly Malcolm died last year aged 66, His terrace house was 'filled to the gunwales' with his beloved collection, now thought to be worth almost £1 million, for me although I could never afford to own anyone of these posters, it is so nice to know that Malcolm had the fore thought to save these wonderful pieces of art work that we can now admire.
