The Tramways and Railways of John Knowles (Wooden Box Ltd)

In many ways Knowles was typical of the better Victorian clay products works. It was, however, its use of steam locomotives on tracks of two different gauges, set in a context of fiery kilns, steam winding engines and smoke blackened buildings, which delighted the eye of the railway enthusiast.Fortunately the spectacle was well photographed and this, together with research and the authors' memories, has enabled the Industrial Railway Society to publish this history of the works' railways and tramways some thirty years after their closure. Within these pages the reader will discover something of the importance of such railways in an era now vanished.
