Rob Higgins shows how taking the aerial route gives unique insights
into the history and workings of Britain’s railways. The marvels
of Victorian engineering in their construction, their relationships
to the canals they replaced as the main arteries of transport, and
the communities and industry they spawned along their length can
all be seen in detail. This book flies from the Scottish Highlands
to Cornwall; from marshalling yards in the centre of the UK to
lines hugging cliffs and beaches. All the viaducts on the ‘top’
section of the Settle & Carlisle line are featured, together
with many other viaducts and bridges, including the swing bridges
in the Norfolk Broads. Lineside industries are seen, from a huge
malting complex in East Anglia to our fast-disappearing
coal-powered power stations.
