British Railways Past and Present is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago and comparing them with the same scene today. Such is the current pace of change on our railway system that even a few years can reduce a busy and vibrant railway scene to a wasteland or housing estate - or conversely can bring electrification and up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated, run-down route. Whatever the change, the comparison of past and present will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast and historian, but also anyone interested in our recent history. This volume covers Cleveland and North Yorkshire east of the East Coast Main Line and features: * Middlesborough, Stockton and Teeside * The Cleveland coast line to Saltburn * The North Yorkshire Moors Railway * The Yorkshire coast line through Whitby * Malton to Scarborough and Filey
