Description

This nostalgic three-book series celebrates a slower, old-fashioned way of life through vintage train memorabilia from across Britain.

It's a tribute to a cultural staple in British industrial history: the train. As the world speeds up, it's worth remembering how we used to live. This book is part of a meandering ramble through the past, where life was slower and our railway network was more than just a convenient mode of transport.

Inside, you'll find fragments of a bygone era: country stations and lonely halts, milk churns and coal yards, enamelled signs and platform clocks. These are the remnants of a time when the local station was a well-loved institution at the heart of many communities.
