This book illustrates a journey through Amberdale, as it might have
been in the 1890s. Encompassing a wide variety of scene, Amberdale
is nevertheless the smallest of the dales-by far, for Amberdale is
a model, dreamt up in the mind of its creator and built over a
period of some 60 years. Following the river and the railway
through the dale, the pictures bring to life the half forgotten age
of the horse and the steam engine, the unspoiled countryside, the
quiet charm of the villages, the bustle of a market town and the
industrial urgency of late Victorian England. The book describes an
extensive and impressive model, yet emphasises that it is not
dependant on particular modelling skills or extensive academic
research, but on imagination and enthusiasm. It suggests an
adventure of any extent open to anyone, and it is hoped that the
pictures will entertain and inspire those who build models and.
those who do not. The trains wind through the valley, the trams
rattle along the streets, the mill wheel turns under the elms....
Welcome to Amberdale.
