Description

A special collaboration by two veteran recorders of the railway scene in words and pictures. Since 1967, David Joy has written over 50 books on railways and numerous aspects of Northern England. Gavin Morrison, one of Britain's most experienced railway photographers, has compiled more than 60 books and has gained the highest reputation for the quality of his work. This book is a sequel to their highly praised Railways and the Dales. Gavin first selected more than 150 of his favourite photographs depicting lines serving the Lake District. David then wrote an evocative text emphasising how they have changed from the late 1950s through to the present day. The result is a nostalgic and evocative depiction of railways serving an area that boasts England's highest mountains, largest concentration of natural lakes and most dramatic scenery. Coverage includes the West Coast mainline running along the edge of the Lake District to link Lancaster with Carlisle as well as the very different railway round the coast between the sea and the mountains to serve Barrow and Whitehaven. Branch lines to Windermere, Coniston and Keswick receive full attention.

Author's Bio

David Joy has had a passion for railways since teenage days spent at a small country station in the Yorkshire Dales, when he was allowed to 'help' in the signal box and ride the footplate on the daily goods train. A former editor of the Dalesman and contributor to its sister magazine Cumbria, he has many countryside interests and has been awarded an MBE for 'services to the environment'. Photographer Gavin Morrison got his first camera way back in 1943 and within a few years his hobby became an obsession. He has now amassed some 200,000 images in one of the largest personal collections still in the hands of the original photographer. Unlike many, he did not put his cameras away when the age of steam ended in 1968 and he continues to record the changing railway scene. He has always had a special regard for the Lake District.
