This book looks back to the time when steam locomotives were the dominant form of power on the railways in the North East of England
- as they had been for over a century. But in a few short years this era had been brutally ended
- not just on British Railways but on the many private & 'industrial' lines in the area too. Richard Gaunt's evocative photographs bring back the pain of that period but also the style & the drama from steam's last few years. Shot mainly in the Darlington Sunderland & Hartlepool areas they cover not only the glamorous expresses but the seemingly endless heavy freight & shunting operations seen throughout the region & too often overlooked. This book will bring back powerful memories for those who know the area around this time but also appeal to readers with more general interests in railway matters
- & those who simply enjoy dramatic photographs of industrial scenes.
