Books
A photographic album of the London and South Western Railway in the days of steam, compared with the same sites today, seen in precisely-matched shots. The captions pick out points of local and railway interest, and provide an historical narrative of changes on the line and in its surroundings. This is a photographic album of the London and South Western Railway - subsequently part of the Southern Region - in the days of steam, including the Atlantic Coast Express services and the lines of the "withered arm", compared with the same sites today, seen in precisely-matched shots. The detailed captions pick out points of both local and railway interest, and provide an historical narrative of changes on the line and its land, and in its surroundings.
