Specific locations include Birkenhead, Liverpool (Edge Hill), Warrington, Northwich, Manchester (Gorton), Preston, Southport, Morecambe, Isle of Man, Oxenholme, Shap, Whitehaven, Workington, and Carlisle. The Stainmore route over the Pennines is visited with photographs at Barnard Castle, Barras, Belah and Deepdale Viaducts, Bowes, Kirkby Stephen, and Penrith. The Sheffield tram system is seen in 1960, then Wakefield and Leeds, before time is spent at York. We continue via Market Weighton, Bridlington, Filey, Scarborough, Malton, Kirbymoorside, Tadcaster, Alne, Thirsk, Melmerby, and Northallerton. An early morning visit is made to the Catterick Military Railway, then Darlington, Sunderland, Tyne Dock, Gateshead, and Newcastle to conclude at Tweedmouth and Coldstream. Industrial sites are also visited and include Bickershaw, Corkickle Brake, South Kirkby, Peckfield, Seaham, Doxfords, the Bowes Railway, and the Harton Railway. The time period is largely between 1955 and 1967 and although steam predominates, diesel and electric power are represented, even rope-worked inclines. It will appeal to railway enthusiasts, modelers and those interested in local history. Virtually all of the photographs, a mixture of monochrome and color, have never previously been published and are accompanied with extensive and informative commentaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Clemens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781559112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781559116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fonthill Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michael Clemens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46293060550911,"sku":"9781781559116","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9dd3b20e-0ec8-44b6-9cd4-8fedf9e62e73.jpg?v=1730212008","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-railways-of-northern-england-michael-clemens-9781781559116","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
