The LNER Encyclopedia

Hi im new to the LNER forum, and I need some help on a pair of leather gaiters that I picked up. They are both marked L.N.E.R. and are military/equestrian in style. Did LNER have horsemen?? Or are these workers gaiters possibly? (some ideas on value would also be nice)


both are marked like this

Certainly look equestrian, presumably in connection with horse-drawn delivery wagons.

Going slightly off topic, I've seen a couple of photos from the late 1940s, one showing a non-uniformed railway worker at Kitty and a uniformed shunter at Kyle, both wearing what appear to be ex-British Army ankle gaiters.

Ok thanks for that - they're going up on eBay if anyone is interested.
