Join Roger Siviter on a fascinating 'past and present' photographic tour of the Severn Valley Railway, one of Britain's most popular steam railways. He focuses on the beautiful 16-mile preserved route from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster, but also has a nostalgic look at the full length of the original line from Shrewsbury to Worcester, and at neighbouring connecting railways. Roger Siviter features evocative photographs of a wealth of railway locations in their heyday, each paired with a photograph showing the same scene today. Helpful captions provide details about the locomotives and rolling stock, people and landscapes.
The comparisons will be of absorbing interest to many, making this book the ideal companion for railway enthusiasts and visitors, historians and locals alike. * Shrewsbury * Shrewsbury to Buildwas * On to Bridgnorth * Bridgnorth * South to Bewdley * Tenbury Wells line * Bewdley * Kidderminster loop * Bewdley to Worcester * Worcester
