'British Railways Past and Present' is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago which are compared with a photograph of 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scene to a wasteland or housing estate - or conversely can bring electrification and up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated, run-down route. In this volume covering East Anglia are over 250 photographs featuring: * The Counties of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Huntingdonshire and Suffolk * The former Great Eastern Lines * M&GN lines through Norfolk * Melton Constable, Norwich and the railways of North Norfolk * The rural branch lines of the past * Routes through Cambridge, Ely and March and Ipswich.
