Railways Around Worcestershire by Steve Burdett

Railways Around Worcestershire is one man’s view of a range of railway operations in the beautiful heart of England over a period spanning nearly half a century. The early 1970s was an era neglected by many photographers following the end of steam - however, it is now quite apparent how the intervening generations have seen even greater changes. Ranging from the Malvern Hills through the beautiful cathedral city of Worcester to the Cotswolds, the railways are once again going through a transitional period where traditional semaphore signalling controls operations at Worcester while a new Parkway station is being built on the city outskirts. A wide range of motive power is featured at a range of locations - Worcester, Great Malvern, Evesham, Droitwich Spa, Kidderminster and more.
Born in Aston in Birmingham in 1952, Steve’s railway enthusiasm was encouraged by his family. This hobby provided a distraction during a career in banking, and he always carries a camera on the railways in order to capture scenes for posterity.
