With images and vivid recollections, we journey away from the main
line to valleys, quarries and factories. Industries as diverse as
slate, iron, paper, glass, food and tourism relied on dozens of
small railways to keep people and goods moving. At quarries,
factories and picturesque rural stations, Brian and Ian Reading
explore scenes, many of which have now changed beyond recognition.
This photographic tour includes the Isle of Man Railway, Stewarts
& Lloyds Minerals at Corby, British Industrial Sand at
Middleton Towers & Leziate, the Wissington Light Railway,
Richard Garrett Engineering Leiston Works, Bowater's Railway at
Sittingbourne, Kemsley & Ridham Dock, the Vale of Rheidol
Railway, the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, Dinorwic
Quarries (Padarn) Railway, Penrhyn Quarry Railway, the Talyllyn
Railway and the Festiniog (Ffestiniog) Railway. People, machines
and landscapes are crystalised on film for future generations;
reawakening memories for those who lived through this time of
change and offering a fascinating insight for those who are too
young to have been trackside during this intriguing period of
railway history.
