Western Ways - RC Riley Archive 37-64 Vol 1

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 while UK railway images. Proportionately only a few have ever been seen whilst it is now in excess of 40 years since an album devoted solely to his work was published. Now that omission may, in part, be addressed with this new book, the first of series dedicated to specific railway themes. Dick had a clear passion for all things railway, locomotives, trains of all sorts, infrastructure and railway people. Examples of all are depicted within, showcasing some of the best of his photography as well a fascinating selection of his images recorded during the late GWR and BR(W) period.
