Product No.:IR49XTitle: An Illustrated History of:Leicester’s RailwaysAuthor(s): Stretton, JohnIllustrator(s): N/APublisher:Irwell PressISBN:187160849XCondition: NewBinding:SoftcoverDust Jacket: NoneEdition: 1st EditionPublication Year:1998Features: 60 Pages with Black/White Photos.This book is not just about the Midland Railway – but includes the Great Central, Great Northern – and the Achilles heel – the Glenfield Tunnel. Leicester was surprisingly full of Railways. Now only the Midland is left – and it is somewhat curtailed by the Beeching Axe. Still the photos are excellent and shew Leicester as it was ‘back-in-the-days’ of Steam. Interesting to see Leicester London Road Station as it was with the over-all glass roof!
