West Berkshire & North Hampshire

In the first ‘a good read’ giveaway from our latest issue, discover the story behind Britain’s railway in Trevor Yorke’s “Britain’s Railway Architecture & Heritage”.

Britain’s railway buildings erected during the affluent 19th and early 20th centuries are a mixture of many styles. From the mighty London terminus to the humble village halt, all reflected the pride and aspiration of the great railway companies who commissioned them.

Using his own photographs and diagrams, Trevor explores the architecture behind the stations and their facilities, the engineering of bridges and tunnels and a list of Places to Visit.

Today, helped along by the popularity of preserved steam railways, these wonderful examples of railway architecture are widely appreciated for their beauty and the role they played in our social and industrial past.

Author Trevor Yorke brings us another instalment from Britain’s Living History. Other titles include Art Deco House Styles and British Interior House Styles.
