I've been trawling through a lot of local history books at the library recently, and came across this little gem.
It's as the thread title says. A collection of books about railways with photos showing both the past and the present. The one I borrowed is Devon, of course......but the others in the series are...
Berkshire and Hampshire.
Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and West Hertfordshire.
Dorset.
East Midlands.
East Yorkshire.
Kent and East Sussex.
Lincolnshire.
Mid Wales and The Marches.
North East, East and South East London.
North West Scotland.
North West, West and South West London.
North Yorkshire.
Somerset.
South Wales.
South West Scotland.
Surrey and West Sussex.
West Midlands.
Wiltshire.
Worcestershire.
A bit dated. The Devon one was first published in 1991, and I did noticed a couple of anomalies...although that may be due to the info available then.
Useful though, both for Railway fans and for finding leads about abandoned rail lines, tunnels, etc.
Cheers.
