Somerset & Dorset - RC Riley Archive 55-65 Vol 2

The name RC 'Dick' Riley will be familiar to several generations of railway enthusiasts. Starting in 1937 Dick Riley captured over 18,000 black and white UK railway images whilst only a relatively small proportion of these black & white views have ever been seen. Now that omission may, in part, be addressed with this new book, the second of a series dedicated to specific railway themes. Dick had a clear passion for all things railway, locomotives, trains of all sorts, infrastructure and railway staff. Examples of all are depicted within, showcasing some of the best of his photography as well as a fascinating selection of his images recorded in the period 1955 through to 1965 on that much lamented railway, the `Somerset & Dorset'.
