Gordon Edgar explores the industrial and minor railways of Cumberland and Westmorland.
The industrial and minor railways of the former counties of Cumberland and Westmorland are neglected topics deserving of greater attention. West Cumberland has traditionally been a mining, steel-making and quarrying region, with some areas of rail-served industry surviving today. Standard and narrow gauge railways and their locomotives have supported these industries for over a century, a small number even surviving into the twenty-first century.
Gordon Edgar uses his excellent collection of photographs to explore these fascinating railways and their locomotives.
