--Railway MagazineA striking photographic record of how the Beeching cuts and modernisation saw our grand terminal stations, soaring viaducts and cavernous locomotive works wiped from the landscape
The current restoration of St Pancras Station and its Midland Hotel is a glorious exception to a melancholy rule that the finer our railway architecture, the more likely it was to be demolished in the name of progress. Who would know that the ugly, low concrete bunker of Birmingham New Street station replaced a handsome glass-roofed train shed, or that until the 1960s the stupendously high Belah viaduct swept across a remote Cumbrian valley or that the outlet mall in Swindon selling cheap designer clothing used to be he great GWR locomotive works? or that on little bucolic branch lines in the West Country or Essex an old bus body was the waiting-room? In over 200 fascinating and often rare images John Minnis documents the remarkably rich architectural heritage of our railways, from quaint country halts to distinguished railway hotels all of which exists now only in photographs.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The beautifully restored St Pancras Station is both a magisterial example of Britain's finest Victorian architecture, and an exception that reminds us of the dramatic demolition our rail network has suffered. In the name of progress hundreds of buildings were pulled down and replaced, often by nothing more than a concrete bunker or bus shelter Now, in this stunning book, John Minnis reveals the extent of the loss. From the most cavernous engine sheds, like Old Oak Common, through the eccentric country halts on the Tollesbury line and the Meccano-like gantries of the Liverpool Overhead Railway, to the soaring viaducts of Belah and Cumlin, Britain's Lost Railways offers a sweeping pictorial lament for our lost railway heritage. Not one building displayed in this book - often in a hitherto unpublished photograph - still exists. All that remains of them are pictures and memories; fragments of the past that serve as a testimony to an age of ingenuity and ambition when the pride we invested in our railways was reflected in the grandeur of the architecture we built for them. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR006447597
