Eric Treacy

Bishop Eric Treacy MBE (1907 – 13 May 1978) was an English railway photographer [ [http://www.nrm.org.uk/exhibitions/treacy/start.asp Railway credentials] ] and Bishop of Wakefield.

Treacy was born in London. In 1932 he was made a Deacon in the Church of England [Crockford's clerical directory,(London, Church House 1976) ISBN 0108153674] , and also took up railway photography, being inspired by a visit to Liverpool Lime Street. His photographic work appeared in various magazines during the 1930s.

His photography was interrupted by being an Army Padre during the Second World War, for which he was awarded an MBE. He published his first book of images in 1946. On demobilisation he became Rector of Keighley and in 1949 was appointed Archdeacon of Halifax. In 1961 he became Suffragan Bishop of Pontefract and in 1968 he was made Bishop of Wakefield [ Who's Who 1970 p3176 ISBN 0713611405] , a post in which he remained until he retired in 1976.

Treacy died from a heart attack on Appleby Station on the Settle-Carlisle Railway waiting for BR 92220 Evening Star. A plaque is there to his memory. He is buried at "St Kentigern's Church Crosthwaite", Keswick.

The Treacy Collection of 12,000 photographs forms part of the National Railway Museum's archive of over 1.4 million images.
