Description

Set against the backdrop of Britain's last great railway project, Road to Ribblehead tells the story of the men and their families who struggled to build the Ribblehead viaduct and Blea Moor tunnel. Despite leaving behind only remnants of their work, this book seeks to revive the memory of those who endured unimaginable hardships in pursuit of a monumental engineering feat.

The lives of the women and children who shared these men's experiences are also brought to light, offering a poignant glimpse into the personal cost of such ambitious projects. This dramatic and often violent tale is a testament to the courage and determination of those who worked on this historic railway.
