Britain's Historic Railway Buildings : A Gazetteer of Structures and Sites

Britain's Historic Railway Buildings is a magisterial reference work on the historic structures on Britain's railways in England, Scotland, and Wales. First published in 2003, this edition is fully up to date. In the last few decades the value of Britain's railway heritage has become increasingly important, and today thousands of structures are listed or scheduled. This book includes over 2,300 of these structures, each with a detailed description supported by photographs, maps, a list of important buildings lost, a glossary of terms, and a bibliography and index. Many structures still play an active part in railway operations, but this book also covers structures no longer in active use. In this book the reader will find detailed information about the history of all the surviving historic railway structures in Britain—a multitude of structures paying tribute to the verve and drive of one of Britain's great industries of the last 200 years.
