{"product_id":"south-yorkshire-railways-andrew-walker-9781445698281","title":"South Yorkshire Railways","description":"Coal and iron making first brought railways to what is now called South Yorkshire. The industrial towns of Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster attracted the Victorian pioneers, who built a myriad of often competing lines to the collieries and factories. The carriage of people was almost an afterthought, but once there was demonstrable demand, the passenger routes followed, linking the growing centres of population and connecting with the major cities in adjoining counties and further afield. Perhaps most historically of all, the immense challenge of piercing the Pennines at Woodhead was met with the construction of the Great Central's line from Sheffield to Manchester, later famously electrified and then regrettably closed. This photographic collection presents a selection of images from across this diverse county from the 1970s to the present day, from the dying days of the pits to the era of the internet-enabled trains of the twenty-first century. Many of these pictures feature infrastructure and locations that have long since disappeared from the railway map.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Walker, John Walker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1445698285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445698281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Andrew Walker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942692946175,"sku":"9781445698281","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bfa79095-ed53-47c7-bca3-07e5de08266c.jpg?v=1681493808","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/south-yorkshire-railways-andrew-walker-9781445698281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
