 Your host: Arthur Loosley |
I was born in London before World War II and have since lived and worked in eight English counties pursuing a career in journalism, initially as a photographer on the now defunct Brighton and Hove Herald in the south coast county of Sussex. After national service with the RAF I moved around the country, working on newspapers and press agencies in the Midlands before returning south where I was for ten years a special contributor to The British Journal of Photography, occasional book reviewer for The Times Educational Supplement and a fifteen-year spell on The Times (London) picture desk. My passion for writing and photography has not waned in retirement and I now spend my leisure time exploring East Anglia where I now live, and touring the UK to photograph and write about places previously known or newly discovered. | |

I also enjoy painting and drawing, and my other interests include UK history, restoration projects, folklore and customs, social and industrial history, wildlife, the countryside, vintage transport, and topical discussion.
