IMAGES OF INDUSTRIAL & NARROW GAUGE RAILWAYS - DEVON - MAURICE DART - HALSGROVE

This book, covering Industrial and Narrow Gauge Railways
in Devon, and its `sister' volume covering Cornwall, appear
as part of the popular and growing series featuring photographs
from the collection of Maurice Dart, Cornwall-based
photographer and authority onWestcountry railways. Here
are rare photographs, many of them taken by the author,
of these important local lines which served ports, military
installations, industrial sites and aspects of tourism in Devon.
Many of these railways have passed into history, although
some survive in part as preserved lines which are also
included here. Each photograph is accompanied by the
author's own text, unique reminiscences of this important
part of Devon's rail system.
Now in his eighties, from a boy Maurice Dart has travelled
throughout much of Southern Britain armed with a camera,
taking photographs of all things railway. His collection, now
numbering many thousands of images, has been the source
of many small publications and has been used in countless
magazines and journals.
Here for the first time is a comprehensive look at an important
part of this unique collection - a book that will become
a classic ofWestcountry steam.
