Description
Southern Region Steam 1948-1967 is a collection of over 250 stunning colour and black and white photographs showcasing steam locomotives in action across much of the South of England. The images feature many areas, including stations such as Eastleigh, Dover, Southampton, Brighton, and Guildford, as well as locations like the Isle of Wight. The book presents a range of iconic classes, including Bulleid's 'Merchant Navy' and 'Battle of Britain'/'West Country' Pacifics, Maunsell 'King Arthur' and 'Schools', Urie 4-6-0s, Drummond M7, and Wainwright C Class. The photographs are accompanied by well-researched captions that provide informative context for each image. This collection of images helps to remind everyone of the importance of preserving steam locomotives as representatives of a bygone age. With its evocative scenes of stations, engine sheds, and lineside, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of steam locomotives in the Southern Region.
