Cheshire Railways The Age of Steam

A nostalgic look back to the early days of steam railways - the lines, the stations, the navvies who built them, the passengers, the freight and today's preservation societies.

This book tells the story of how the steam age reshaped not only the map of the county of Cheshire over 130 years, but the many social revolutions it left in its wake, such as improved working conditions, easy and affordable fast transport and the growth of the leisure industry. It describes the lives of the ordinary railway workers, the passengers and the freight that the lines carried.
