Forgotten Railways VOL 6 South East England by H.P. White 1987 DJ
Forgotten Railways VOL 6 South East England by H.P. White 1987 DJ
Second Edition
192 Pages
Hard Cover with Dust Jacket
Contents
This is undoubtedly the most important railway history series ever published, all but one of the fifteen volumes covering mainland Britain now being completed. As well as telling the full story of railway history in their regions, usually based on substantial original research and filling many gaps in previous coverage, the books relate the railways to their geographical, social and economic background. They are generously illustrated, including folding maps, and great care has been paid to details such as bibliography and index. As with the 'Forgotten Railways' series, it is not possible to keep all volumes in print together, but new and thoroughly revised editions appear from time to time. Ask your bookseller, or send to David & Charles at NewtonAbbot, for an up-to-date list of railway titles available.
