Mike Hitches provides us with a rich pictorial history, highlighting the golden age of steam, through to the sad closure of many of the county s lines in the 20th century. Crewe is one of the most famous places for railway history, as it was home to London & North Western s railway workshops and a major junction on the West Coast main line. Spreading from Crewe into Cheshire are an intricate network of lines, some of which were established at the dawn of the railways. Cheshire Railways includes the fascinating history of Crewe, at the heart of Cheshire s railway system. This book will delight rail enthusiasts and fascinate those who are interested in this key part of Cheshire s history." |
