British Railways Past and Present Cornwall

Covering almost every line in the country, this acclaimed series of books juxtaposes photographs of the same railway location separated in time by just a few years, or maybe a century or more. Sometimes the result is dereliction or disappearance, in others a transformation into a modern high-speed railway. In both cases, the contrasts are intriguing and informative. Included in this volume are 250 photographs covering most of the passenger stations in the County, the route of the celebrated 'Cornish Riviera Express' long the ex-GWR main line to Penzance, the ex-LSWR North Cornwall line, branches to Bude, Callington, Looe, Fowey, Newquay, Falmouth, Helston and St. Ives, the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway, China clay country. Included in this copy are 250 black and white photographs. This 1993 first edition copy is sold in MINT condition between MINT illustrated card covers.
