Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We think of the Stephensons and Brunel as the fathers of the railways, and their Liverpool and Manchester and Great Western Railways as the prototypes of the modern systems. But who were the railways' grandfathers and great grandfathers? For the rapid evolution of the railways after 1830 depended to a considerable degree upon the Stephensons, Brunel and their contemporaries being able to draw upon centuries of experience of using and developing railways, and of harnessing the power of steam? Giants the Stephensons and others may have been, but they stood upon the shoulders of many other considerable - if lesser known - talents. This book is their story. AUTHOR: Stuart Hylton has published 27 books on historical subjects, including three railway books, The Grand Experiment (2007); What the Railways did for Us (shortlisted for the Ian Allan Railway Book of the Year award 2015); and Steam Engines and Steam Railways: A young person's Guide (2016). He is a member of the Education Team at the Great Western Society's Didcot Railway Centre, and a volunteer at Reading Museum, giving talks and appearing on radio, and had a regular local history column in the local newspaper. He lives in Berkshire. 60 b/w illustrations An important new study with a vast scope: the people and events that made the achievements of Stephenson and Brunel possible Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
