Geoffrey Lloyd continues this series of pocket books exploring Wales's railway heritage, each revealing one of the nation's "lost lines." The closure of many of these lines has had significant and lasting impact, and the recovery of some routes is of public relevance and a source of debate today. The Heads of The Valleys line served the communities of Methyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny dating back to 1860, linking the area to major population centers around south Wales and the rest of the UK on a dramatic route of curves, steep gradients, tunnels, and viaducts. The line was finally closed in 1958. The history and social background of the railway and its passengers during this period is explored station by station and brought vividly to life through extensive research and archive photography, some of which has never been published before. These portable guides are suitable for the transport historian as well as being accessible to the general reader, and richly document this essential aspect of British heritage.

Take a nostalgic steam-powered journey back in time on the long-closed line from Abergavenny to Merthyr. This was one of the steepest gradients in Britain, offering spectacular views of mountains and gorges as it meandered across the wind-swept heads of the south Wales Valleys. The line was also built to capitalise on the rich coal mining and ironworks that sprang up during the Industrial Revolution, the birthplace of the railways that became famous throughout the world. Includes an essay on the history of the line and fascinating photography of its locomotives, trains and stations.

While it is still possible to travel from Swansea to Shrewsbury along the quaint and sleepy Heart of Wales line today's experience is a far cry from its heyday, when heavy goods and express trains worked their way over the Welsh hills. In this volume, we explore the southern end of the line, including the now closed section running along the Swansea shore line and the branch to Carmarthen, and document its complicated history around the Swansea and Llanelli areas.

Kyffin Williams is the culmination of four years of research at two centres for Kyffin Williams's art, the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, and Oriel Mon, Anglesey. Dr. Qing Chao Ma's illuminating new study incorporates Kyffin Williams's full range; his inspirational landscapes and seascapes in oil, his delicate watercolours, his distinctive linocuts and his mesmeric portraits. With her particular expertise, the author also draws comparisons between the work of Williams and Chinese art, linking him to other artistic traditions and establishing his rightful place in the worldwide art community. Combined with a rigorous biographical account on the life which informed the work and a rich variety of illustrations, Kyffin Williams is an invaluable contribution to the study and appreciation of one of Wales's foremost artists.'No other artist and author has collated so many diverse examples of Sir Kyffin's art in one publication with such coherence. This is a book put together with great care and purpose and written from the heart.' David Meredith, Sir Kyffin Williams Trust

While the Conwy Valley railway is very much still with us, this survey aims to capture many 'lost' aspects of the line's remarkable history. Its personality has changed dramatically over the years. Built in sections and lured up into the mountains of Snowdonia by the chimera of huge profits from slate, it became instead a firm favourite of tourists and walkers and is enjoyed to this day by well over 100,000 passengers a year.
