The Last Days of Steam on the London Midland Region by E H Sawford

The Last Days of Steam on the London Midland Region by E H Sawford

The London Midland Region (LMR), which served central England, played a leading role in British railway history. This famous network linked many of the key cities and towns that were essential for British manufacturing and commerce - London, Rugby, Crewe, Chester, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol. The LMR was always at the heart of the railway industry. In his vivid record of this historic region, Sawford recalls the fascinating variety of motive power that could be seen and photographed during the last days of steam. He shows many types of locomotives, from Pacifics to diminutive tank engines, and portrays the old-style uniforms, signals and stations, and other evocative features of the now-lost landscape of the LMR during the final phases of the great steam age.
