TRANSPORT BOOKS
Our Railway Book Stock
In
the early years of the 20th Century the UK railway companies employed
about 800,000 people, on the law of averages everyone must have had a relative working for them. Most stations employed
maybe 10 or 12 staff, some living on the premises, today; if they managed to survive the Beeching axe, those
same stations are often unmanned. The railways employed people in a huge number of different roles from boiler
makers to waitresses and from blacksmiths to level crossing keepers. The railways also changed the face of Britain geographically;
both in their construction and later decline, many of our books contain superb images of our stations, villages
and towns as they were many years ago, as well as the people who worked on them. Well over 10,000 miles of track and hundreds
of stations have disappeared since 1947, our books will help you find a lot of it.
We
hold stocks of some very scarce volumes relating to sports and vintage cars along with trucks, buses, coaches and all other
forms of automobilia. We also have large stocks of books relating to military vehicles and tanks which can be found in our
'Military Book' catalogue.
