{"product_id":"stour-valley-railway-part-2-through-time-clare-to-shelford-audley-end","title":"Stour Valley Railway Part 2 Through Time","description":"This part of the Stour Valley line dates from 1865 and survived for 102 years; the Saffron Walden branch followed a few months later. From the 1920s, both lines fought a rearguard action against road competition. Busy again during the Second World War and for a short period afterwards, both lines benefitted from new diesel motive power by 1959. By then, the writing was on the wall for both lines, despite Haverhill being designated a London overspill town.In this volume, we look at the line between Clare and Shelford, as well as the Saffron Walden branch. \n\nStour Valley Railway Through Time Part 2 takes the reader on a tour of both lines showing through old and contemporary photographs the history of the stations on the lines over the last forty-four years. The remnants from Clare westwards and the Saffron Walden branch are explored fully, showing some pleasing sites as well as modern developments.","brand":"Amberley Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32189663314003,"sku":"9781445604732","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781445604732.jpg?v=1778391105","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/stour-valley-railway-part-2-through-time-clare-to-shelford-audley-end","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
