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 capturing 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scene to a wasteland or housing estate - or conversely can bring electrification and up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated, run-down route.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. Cheshire and North Wales are covered in this volume featuring locations such as: * Crewe and the West Coast Main Line * Rails around Chester * Birkenhead and the Wirral * The North Wales coast line and Anglesey * Wrexham, Oswestry and border branches * The Cambrian Coast line
