The English Railway Station by Steven Parissien
The English Railway Station is an accessible, engaging and comprehensively illustrated general history of the architectural development and social history of the British railway station, from the dawn of the Railway Age to the ravages of the 1960s and the stations rebirth at the end of the 20th century.
.. a new survey from English Heritage, 'The English Railway Station', written by the historian and scholar of stations Steven Parrisien, which informatively recounts their rise and fall.
Rowan Moore, The Observer
... altogether an invaluable record of the impact and aftermath of the Victorian Railway Revolution and its importance in our ever fascinating and treasured heritage.
June Lewis, Cotswold Life
Packed full of facts, the author considers the wider role of station buildings to include people, hotels, vehicles and animals. You don't need to be a railway buff or an architect to enjoy this splendid book, just a liking for a touch of historical social nostalgia will do fine.
This England * This England, Summer 2015 *
This is a superbly illustrated book, with photographs of both stations lost and stations still with us and, indeed, in some cases, such as Bedford, examples both of what has gone and what has replaced it. ... this is a worthwhile and in many senses pioneering work.
