The Southern Railway was one of the 'Big Four' companies which
constituted Britain's railways following the Grouping in 1923 until
their nationalisation in 1948. It operated in the southern counties
of England from Kent in the east across to Devon and Cornwall in
the west, with major termini in London, but in the south west and
western home counties was in competition with the Great Western
Railway. This detailed atlas of the entire Southern network is
based on original track diagrams of the three consituent companies
of the Southern Railway - the London & South Western Railway,
The South Eastern & Chatham Railway and the London, Brighton
& South Coast Railway. The fullest extent of the SR 1923-1947
is shown and the mapping also includes industrial lines. Lines are
distinguished singled or doubled, and sidings, stations (including
platforms), tunnels, signalboxes, level crossings, bridges and
viaducts are also shown.
Gathered together for the first time, here is a comprehensive
record of the motoring achievements and competition history of
Briggs Swift Cunningham II. He was a competitor, patron and
pioneering champion of road racing in the USA, and in addition to
the cars that bore his name with pride and competed against the
best in the world, the Cunningham team raced many other models in
the late 1950s and early 1960s in both the USA and Europe. Further,
during his long life, Cunningham owned a large variety of vehicles
ranging from the mundane to the spectacular. Richard Harman has
spent the past seven years researching this long overdue and
worthwhile tribute to the accomplishments of the great man. He was
granted unprecedented access to hitherto unpublished archive
material by the Cunningham family and the families of the team
members and has been able to trace the history of most of the
Cunningham-owned cars in great detail. This book has been awarded
the 2014 Cugnot Award by the Society of Motoring Historians and was
shortlisted for the RAC Book of the Year Award 2014. It was also
shortlisted for the 2013 International Historic Motoring Awards
