A marvellous album featuring a wealth of photographs of railway locations in the eastern half of London. Each pair of photographs - showing an evocative railway scene in the past and the same place in the present - is accompanied by fascinating details about the locomotives and rolling stock, people and townscapes. The contrasts are often dramatic, while sometimes hardly anything has altered in 30 or 40 years. Whatever the changes, the comparison of past and present will excite not only the railway enthusiast and historian, but also everyone interested in Londons recent past. * Routes radiating from Kings Cross * Broad Street * Liverpool Street * Fenchurch Street * Cannon Street * London Bridge * Charing Cross.
