Description
xDiscover the hidden industrial railway history of Eastern England!
Explore the often-underappreciated industrial heritage of Essex, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and East Nottinghamshire. This volume uncovers the surprising variety of locomotives and railways that once served industries along the Thames Estuary, in the chalk quarries of Thurrock and Barrington, the steelworks of Scunthorpe, and the sugar beet factories scattered throughout the region.
From gypsum quarrying near Newark to silica sand extraction near King's Lynn, and the narrow gauge railways of Peterborough's brickworks, this book offers a detailed look at the industrial railways that shaped Eastern England. Perfect for railway enthusiasts and history buffs interested in the region's rich industrial past.
