England's Railway Heritage from the Air by Peter Waller
The early railway builders such as the London & Birmingham had invested much in creating impressive stations for this new and revolutionary form of transport and, during the 19th century, many of the countrys leading architects undertook commissions on behalf of the burgeoning railway industry.
'Perhaps even more than the motoring and maritime books that preceded it, the railway volume has a full text by this highly experienced author at each right-hand page opposite the beautifully printed imagesIt adds up to an account of the country’s topography, providing ample evidence of how the Victorians reshaped England both in town and country.' Graham Tite, Context, the Journal of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation
Reviews
'This is not the first railways volume Peter Waller has compiled from the Aerofilms collection of oblique aerial views but it won't disappoint. The quarry is not worked out.'
