The Railways of Salop Including the 5.30pm to Bridgnorth

This book is part of Transport Treasury's Totem Publishing imprint. Totem books are hardback landscape photographic albums depicting the railway scene in a variety of locations and times. In this book, compiled by Leslie Price, we look at the railways of Salop. Salopian railways encompassed everything from main line urban sprawl to cross country and picturesque branch lines and in consequence also witnessed a variety of engines and trains. Adding to the variety the county also bordered the industrial Midlands on one side and rural Wales on the other, all adding to the charm of train travel in past years. In this very personal and at times anecdotal account, Leslie Price, some of whose ancestors worked on those lines, takes us on a journey of nostalgia around the county.
