The Railways of Northern England in the 1960s invites the reader on a nostalgic tour of the North, from Crewe and Doncaster up to the Scottish border, taking in bustling metropolises, industrial towns, military sites, mountains, lakes, viaducts and picturesque villages. The photographs, a mixture of colour and monochrome, were taken between 1955 and 1970 and, with a few exceptions, are presented here for the very first time. Steam predominates, though diesel, electric power and even rope-worked inclines are featured, while among the locomotives you will find tramcars, an LNER paddle steamer and a four-wheeled oddity referred to as an 'Old Steam Tar Sprayer'. This stunning collection, expertly restored and presented alongside informative commentaries, recalls the end of an era--a bygone age that, quite simply, is a joy to look back on.
