Great Train Robbery scrapbook to be sold at auction http://bit.ly/1a32PnR

Amazing scrapbooks created by Great Train Robbery detective reveal why the 'crime of the century' captured the fascination of Britain

Detective Constable John Bailey took hundreds of pictures as he investigated the infamous 1963 heist and kept them all in a series of scrapbooks. Fifty years after the robbery, he is selling his collection at auction later this month. His archive includes pictures of evidence found at the railway bridge in Ledburn, Buckinghamshire, where the crime took place. There are also images from the mail carriage that was held up. Although some of the retired policeman's pictures were published in a book called Photocop: The man who photographed the Great Train Robbery, many of them have never been seen before.
