It began to build its own carriages and locomotives at an early date and operated an extensive canal system, as well as narrow gauge lines including the Leek \u0026amp; Manifold. Never a wealthy company, it withstood aggressive take-over attempts from its bigger rivals to maintain its independent existence until 1923. This book, illustrated with a wealth of rare images, marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the railway's independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Dawson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 139811443X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781398114432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Anthony Dawson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074537320703,"sku":"9781398114432","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1f79219-d1ff-4b5a-bfdc-77fa121a0487.jpg?v=1685454323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/north-staffordshire-railway-anthony-dawson-9781398114432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
