Covering industrial steam throughout the British Isles over several decades, the terrific photographs featured here, captured by David Letcher, document a period of our industrial development that is now long gone. Steam-powered workhorses helped turn Britain into an industrial powerhouse, and these wonderful photographs show these locomotives in a variety of settings – a long way from the steam heritage railways of today.
Published for the first time here in a selection curated by transport author Stephen Heginbotham, the photographs offer a richly rewarding and nostalgic tribute to the final years of steam on our industrial railways.
Stephen Heginbotham retired after thirty-eight years working in public transport, and was fortunate enough to work in an industry that was both a career and a hobby. Having spent twenty-four years in Cornwall as a Signalman, Signalling Inspector and Mobile Operations Manager he speaks with some authority on the subject of railways and public transport, having compiled previous books on the subject.
