Les Pickersgill

Provincial Photographer

Les was initiated into Tynte Lodge No 7994 Bridgwater in 2018 and has since become a very active member, taking the roles of Assistant Secretary, Dining Steward, Lodge Communications Officer and Provincial Photographer.

Having joined the Army as a young entrant and graduated from the Army Apprentice College at Harrogate, he spent 12 years with the Royal Signals, travelling all over the world in the promotion of British interests and the protection of national security.

After leaving the Army, Les became a Civil Servant, working in our Government Communications department. Les then retired after a total of 43 years service to Crown and Country.

He took up photography as a hobby whilst in the Army and was often asked to take the official pictures of Senior Officers at Parades as well as Official Marches. This love of Photography has continued over several decades, now specialising in Nature and local news items, as well as interesting structures and buildings.
