Description
Leicestershire's Lost Railways by Neil Burgess is a collection of vintage photographs and vital statistics that showcase the county's abandoned railway stations. The Industrial Revolution had a significant impact on Leicestershire, with industries such as coal mining, brick, tile, and pipe manufacture expanding in areas like Leicester and Loughborough. This expansion led to the construction of railways, which connected the East Midlands to the West Midlands and London. The book features photographs of dozens of stations that have since closed, including Kirkby Muxloe, Broughton Astley, Ullesthorpe, Shepshed, Heather, Ibstock, John O'Gaunt, and many more. This unique collection provides a glimpse into Leicestershire's railway heritage and the history behind its abandoned stations. With 56 pages of photographs and statistics, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in transportation, history, or the railways.
