Welcome to “Sharpo’s World”

1000’s of images covering a wide variety of subjects

Following the recent “hacking” of all my web pages, the old sites have been deleted, but the main galleries are working again

I will attempt to rewrite the pages which refer to albums in the gallery, but until that is done there will be a few links from captions within the gallery that link to missing pages, sorry if you get a few “error 404” messages!

For all new visitors to this site, I suggest you use the:- Main Index Page (as it has a description for each of the galleries)

Regular visitors can use any of these three links to go direct the galleries, or check out the “latest updates” section below:-

1. Sharpo’s World main photo gallery 2. KC’s photo gallery. 3. Mostly Midlands Railway Photos

NOTE. All my photos are covered by copyright and are for your personal enjoyment.
I have no objections to them being used for non-profit-making purposes, but please ask first!
I am willing to supply high resolution copies for (appropriate) commercial use, and for a “sensible” fee.

If you wish to contact me, please use this link:- E-mail Sharpo

“Latest Updates” to Sharpo’s World sites are now listed in my blog.

It is only a couple of months since I started experimenting with a blog, but it has proved to be very simple to use. I’m all for making things easy for myself and so future updates will be listed there and not on this page. For all my regular visitors, and hopefully some new ones in the future, it should be just as easy to read about the latest updates to the galleries. Sometime soon I will move the section below to a “previous updates” page.
The “Latest Updates” are listed here, or you can bookmark an rss feed from this link
