Using well over 200 pin sharp photographs and informative text, the
book will feature many aspects of railway development in Yorkshire
prior to the Grouping of railways in 1923 as well as the years
afterwards, up to 1948, and the establishment of British Railways.
There is an impressive geographical spread across the region,
including the West, East and North Ridings. Included is an
outstanding collection of photographs gathered from postcards,
original prints, and from glass plate negatives. The captions are
well researched and written in a non railway jargon manner, for the
enjoyment of a wide audience. The pictures should be of interest
well beyond the average railway enthusiast as they form strong
social history in portraying such themes as contemporary life,
changing fashion in dress (male and female), advertising slogans of
the period and excessive numbers of railway staff at many stations.
They also show the varied styles of station, bridge and viaduct
architecture as well as the way communities have changed. - A
lavish reasonably-priced, hardback book, roughly covering the
railway period in Yorkshire 1900- 1948 - Besides locomotives,
stations, bridges, viaducts and other railway subjects are
illustrated - Nothing has been gathered together in such a large
sized book hitherto - Over 200 pin sharp photographs beautifully
printed - A wealth of facts and figures useful to social historians
and railway enthusiasts alike - A fantastic glimpse into
Yorkshire's railway world in the first half of the 20th century.
