Mr Thomas Chambers


I joined the University of Westminster in 2024 as a Doctoral Researcher, having previously completed a BA in history at Birkbeck, followed by an MRes at Goldsmiths. The latter involved researching a social history of trainspotting in post-war Britain for which I received a distinction. My current research, Photography by Train, focuses on the history of photography and railway technologies, and how these combined to shape ideas about heritage in Britain during the period 1880-1930.
