Lost Tramways of England: London North East by Peter Waller
This is one of four volumes to cover the history of electric tramcar operation inLondon; concentrating on the routes to the northeast, the system in this area was largely the result of development by a number of local authorities and was converted largely to trolleybus operation in the years leading to 1940. Amongst locations featured are Barking, llford, East Ham and West Ham.
Brought up in Bradford, Peter Waller grew up witnessing the gradual decline of the city and trolleybus network. He studied history at university and also has a masters degree in industrial archaeology. In 1986, he began a career in publishing, working for a number of years for Ian Allan Publishing Ltd where he oversaw the commissioning and publication of a wide range of books. His first book, British and Irish Tramway Systems since 1945, was published in 1992 and since then he has written extensively on transport subjects. Moving to Shropshire in 2007, he is now a full-time author and editor as well as being a director and secretary of the Online Transport Archive and a committee member of the National Railway Heritage Awards.
Peter is the author of the Lost Tramways series, looking back at the long lost tramway systems of major British towns and cities.
