Photographer Syd Roberts was evacuated from Liverpool to North Wales on the outbreak of Second World War but returned after a few months to complete his studies, initially at school and later at Liverpool University. During his evacuation time in Wales, he explored various narrow-gauge lines by bicycle, using a 35 mm camera which he borrowed from his older brother.
