{"product_id":"9781781559116","title":"The Railways of Northern England in the 1960s by Michael Clemens","description":"The Railways of Northern England in the 1960s?invites the reader on a nostalgic tour of the North, from Crewe and Doncaster up to the Scottish border, taking in bustling metropolises, industrial towns, military sites, mountains, lakes, viaducts and picturesque villages. The photographs, a mixture of colour and monochrome, were taken between 1955 and 1970 and, with a few exceptions, are presented here for the very first time. Steam predominates, though diesel, electric power and even rope-worked inclines are featured, while among the locomotives you will find tramcars, an LNER paddle steamer and a four-wheeled oddity referred to as an `Old Steam Tar Sprayer'. This stunning collection, expertly restored and presented alongside informative commentaries, recalls the end of an era-a bygone age that, quite simply, is a joy to look back on.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304025272693,"sku":"9781781559116","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781781559116.jpg?v=1762795369","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781781559116","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
