Description
THE SNAILBEACH DISTRICT RAILWAYS ISBN: 9780906294932
by: Andy Cuckson
The Snailbeach District Railways was one of Britain's lesser known public narrow gauge railways. Never carrying passengers, its history and workings have never before been fully explored but after many years research Andy Cuckson is able to reveal a fascinating story, not just about the railway but also about the mines and minerals the line supported and the people who built and worked it, including Henry Dennis, the entrepreneurial civil engineer and mine manager. The book tells of the early railways in the area and the many plans to bring rail access to this part of Shropshire, and of the development and impact of the mines. Of the railway all aspects are described; a variety of steam locomotives, rolling stock, engineering, operation and people. This is the fullest account possible of the Snailbeach District Railways and will become the standard work on the line.
Dimensions: 275 X 215 mm

Pages: 224
