This book is the result of twenty years of comprehensive research into the various aspects of the origins and development of railways in the city of Hereford. Details are provided on the rivalries that existed between the railway companies and their Directors, Engineers and Secretaries, the infrastructure, including the stations and bridges, and also how the railways were operated. A previously unrecorded aspect of railway operation that has taken almost seven years of research and discussions with local railwaymen is the detail of how each of the sidings within the city were operated. Extensive use has been made of original source material that now challenges some of the generally-held views of the history of Hereford. The text is enhanced by the use of maps and illustrations that have been drawn by the author. Lavishly illustrated with photographs mostly from private collections, many published here for the first time. Ref AAA 1.…
