British Railways Past and Present Companion
|

|
Terry Gough takes us on a photographic journey through beautiful Sussex countryside, following the old railway route from East Grinstead via Horsted Keynes to Lewes. He includes the celebrated Bluebell Railway, Britain's first standard-gauge preserved line, and the Horsted Keynes - Haywards Heath branch, which the Bluebell has long-term plans to re-open. The photographs of the line cover the old British Railways days, as well as the early preservation period and the present-day scene. Each photograph is accompanied by helpful captions providing details about the locos and rolling stock, people and landscapes. The contrasts are often striking yet sometimes the scene remains virtually unchanged. The comparisons of 'past' and 'present' will intrigue railway enthusiasts, locals and holidaymakers alike.
Locations covered include:
* St Margaret's Junction * East Grinstead * Imberhorne * Kingscote * West Hoathly * Horsted Keynes * Ardingley * Copyhold Junction * Horsted Keynes to Sheffield Park * Sheffield Park * Newick & Chailey * Barcombe * Culver Junction * Lewes
