A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This new title forms the fourth in the popular 'Steam Trails' series. The lines covered in this new volume are predominantly those that were operated by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, and so routes like the main line from Manchester to Leeds via Summit tunnel and its associated branches also feature. The late Eric Bentley was a prolific photographer of railways in the area between Manchester and Leeds during the final decade of steam operation. His collection includes both colour and mono images, the vast majority of which are previously unpublished. His comprehensive records allow for rail expert Bob Pixton to provide well informed captions and text in this fascinating new title. Following in the 'Steam Trails' style format this new title includes informative text and highly descriptive captions allied to a variety of mono and colour photographs. An excellent addition to any rail enthusiast's collection!

Biographie de l'auteur

Bob Pixton is the author of several pictorial histories, four having been published previously by Kestrel. These have covered the various lines between Liverpool and Manchester and the Great Western lines around Stratford-upon-Avon. Originally from the North-west, Bob now lives with his wife in Swindon, where he recently retired from teaching. The late Eric Bentley's lifelong love affair with steam began as a schoolboy, when he boarded an L&Y radial tank every day. His photographs were later published in Backtrack and Steam Railway, his article 'The Golden Years' recalling the years of BR steam before 1968. He was also awarded first prize in the artistic section of the 1968 Railway Enthusiasts Club/Ian Allan Railway Photographic competition.
