The period 1900 to 1948 has long been considered to be the Golden Age of Britain’s railways and it is to be seen in Yorkshire in all its glory in this splendid book.

By Peter Tuffrey

Using over 300 pin sharp photographs and informative text, The Golden Age of Yorkshire Railways features many aspects of railway development in Yorkshire prior to the Grouping of railways in 1923 as well as the years afterwards, up to 1948, and the establishment of British Railways. An impressive geographical spread across the region is covered through an outstanding collection of photographs gathered from postcards, original prints, and glass plate negatives. These are paired with well researched captions that will please railway enthusiasts and a wider audience alike.
