Narrow gauge railways, so well suited to difficult, mountainous terrain, were built in many of the UK's most scenic locations. Their genesis was in mines and quarries where they replaced manor horse-pulled wagons, but their adaptability meant that by the 1860s they were also carrying passengers, in some cases over quite considerable distances. Today a good proportion of all the important lines survive in the service of tourists, whose appreciation of the landscape, and the railways themselves, keep these relics of industrial Britain alive in all their variety. Peter Johnson has been researching and writing about narrow gauge lines for many years, and this is the perfect introduction to a rich and appealing corner of British railway history.

Britain's Canals is a charming and insightful exploration into the amazing architecture and engineering wonders that surround Britain's inland waterways – from the awe-inspiring 30-lock flight on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, to the delightful chocolate-box lock-keepers' cottages that line the cut of every canal, to masterpieces such as the 18-arch Pontcysyllte aqueduct, the highest aqueduct in the world, to beautiful bridges, grand company buildings, the social hubs that were, and still are, canal-side pubs, plus so much more. In contrast to many inland waterways books which are organised geographically by canal, Britain's Canals is structured thematically, with chapters covering the line (the shape of the canal), locks and lock cottages, bridges, aqueducts, lifts and planes, company buildings, wharves, basins and quays and finally the canal-side pub. Each chapter explores how these features were created and have changed through history, right through to the present, with plenty of ideas for places to visit – plus full information on how to get to them. An abundance of full-colour photography throughout, both historical and modern-day, will delight readers and inspire them to explore Britain's wondrous inland waterways, whether on boat, by foot or by bike. In Britain's Canals, two inland waterways experts and admired authors come together to produce the definitive word on the man-made wonders that make Britain's canals so special, so loved and enjoyed by so many.

"This is the story of the railways which served numerous stone quarry companies around the country. Over many years these companies developed into one of the world's largest international corporations, Hanson Aggregates." "The small firms that merged were stone extractive companies that had produced road setts, kerb stones and tarmacadam for road surfacing; railway track ballast and limestone were used in several industries, especially in iron and steel production. Many of these constituent quarries had their own rail systems, often utilising rope-worked inclines to gain access to mountain tops. A large number of locomotives and even horses hauled a variety of wagons over different gauges, and even today several small quarries dispatch some of the heaviest freight trains, hauled by the most powerful diesel locomotives." "Ian Peaty has collected archive and current material to form a complete history of the Hanson Aggregate Group. This researched history is illustrated by numerous maps, a wide range of photographs, and the author's own watercolour paintings. Moving Mountains by Rail provides a unique record for rail enthusiasts, modellers, and those interested in the aggregate industry and industrial history alike."--BOOK JACKET.
