'British ailways Past and Present' is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago and comparing them
with the same scene today.Such is the current pace of change on our railway system that even a few years can
reduce a busy and vibrant railway scene to a wasteland
or housing estate - or conversely can bring electrification and up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated,run-down route.The contrasts are often dramatic,while sometimes hardly anything has altered in 30 or 40 years.Whatever the change,the comparison of 'past' and 'present' will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast and historian,but also anyone interested in our recent history.
In this volume covering Shropshire are over 175 b/w contemporary photographs featuring: GWR main line through Oakengates; Lines around Shrewsbury,
Wellington,Whitchurch and Oswestry; South to Craven Arms,Ludlow,Wofferton and Cleobury Mortimer; and special trains in Shropshire (Salop.)
