Narrow Gauge Railways In North Caernarvonshire, Vol 2

This work includes a feast of photographs and delightful drawings, with maps specicially prepared for this erudite coverage of an era now vanished. Not only railways, but people, places, industries, ships, social orders - all now a memory - are faithfully recorded, for the Penrhyn railways were amongst the first 'private' systems born of the French Wars and of the Industrial revolution. The author brings an unassailable, lifetime's involvement in his subjects. The series, of which this volume forms a part, are not only backed by the author's own unique, close personal knowledge in both fieldwork and documentation, but also by a team of enthusiastic assistants, each a specialist in his own field. The book consists of 232 pages in all, with 95 photographs it has printed end papers and is casebound with gold-blocked spine, it has a full colour laminated dustjacket.
