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 He was granted unprecedented access to hitherto unpublished archive material by the Cunningham family and the families of the team members and has been able to trace the history of most of the Cunningham-owned cars in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 Publication of the Year
