Discover an evocative compilation of all things railway,from Ambulance trains to royal trains; milk trains to livestock on rails,'An A-Z of Railways' is an unashamedly nostalgic journey down memory lane.
With hundreds of pictures of the railways in their active heyday,as well as old postcards,tickets and other evocative ephemera,this book brings the golden age of railways vividly back to life.
Paul Atterbury is probably familiar to many as a long-standing member of the team of experts on BBC TV's 'Antique Roadshow' and someone who has always appreciated the importance of ephemera in telling the story of domestic life in the 20thC.
