Description

The majestic architecture of early railway buildings reflected the pride of the railway companies who commissioned them.

These awe-inspiring structures ranged from classically-designed stations, waiting rooms and booking halls to mighty viaducts, tunnels and bridges.

In this highly-illustrated book, filled with colour photographs and detailed drawings, Trevor Yorke describes the range of buildings associated with the golden age of steam.

He explains the dynamics of their construction, the materials used and the myriad of styles employed by leading architects and engineers of the day.

For everyone interested in the world of steam railways, this is an invaluable guide to the architectural legacy it left behind and the role the railways played in our social and industrial past.
