Artikelname: Northamptonshire's Lost Railways
Artikelbeschreibung: Northamptonshire and its one-time appendage, the Soke of Peterborough, is one of Britain's most inland counties and is still one of the most rural in southern England. Nevertheless, at the peak of the Railway Age in the latter part of the nineteenth century its railway system was one of most complex of any county in the country. This was due to its lying across the axis of most of the major routes from London to the Midlands and the North and, as a result, it took in many of the branch lines which spun off from these routes. The whole, complicated, history is explained in this well written and concise book and is accompanied by fifty-one superb period views ranging from the late 1800s through to the Beeching era of the 1960s. Locations included are: Blakesley, Wellingborough, Wappenham, Salcey Forest, Oundle, Brackley, Roade, Blisworth, Weedon, Braunston, Northampton, Irthlingborough, Ringstead and Addington, Thrapston, Orton Waterville, Peterborough, Banbury, Althorp Park, Lamport, Luffenham, Helpston, Uffington and Barnack, Cranford, Raunds, Gretton, Rushden, Desborough and Rothwell, Eye Green, Kings Sutton, Aynho, Cherwelton, Woodford and Hinton (later Woodford Halse), Chalcombe, Towcester, Byfield, and the tiny station of Long Buckby, final stopping place for the Royal Train on the occasion of Princess Diana's funeral.
