Description
Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations by Simon Jenkins is a beautifully illustrated exploration of our social history. From Waterloo to Wemyss Bay, Betws-y-Coed to Beverley, Jenkins has travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain to select his hundred best railway stations. Blending his usual insight and authority with personal reflections and experiences, Jenkins reveals the history, geography, design and significance of each station. The book showcases the role of these places in the national imagination, champions the engineers, architects and rival companies that made them possible, and tells the story behind their triumphs and follies. Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs throughout, this joyous exploration highlights the often undersung places that link our nation, celebrated like never before.
