{"product_id":"tomlinsons-north-eastern-railway-9780999003923","title":"Tomlinson's North Eastern Railway","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book needs no introduction to railway historians, many of whom have unsuccessfully tried to obtain secondhand copies in recent years. First published in 1914, it was immediately recognised as a standard work, and its publication did much to raise the quality of railway history as a whole. So accurate is it that, even after the passage of half a century, only a handful of items need revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition has an introduction by Ken Hoole, the modern authority on the history of the railways of north-east England. In his author's notes on his own book on the railways of north-east England (see back of jacket) Mr Hoole commented : 'In any work with historical content concerning the North Eastern Railway the first acknowledgement must always be made to W. W. Tomlinson's monumental work The North Eastern Railway : Its Rise and Development. Published in 1914, it is still a necessity for anyone interested in north-eastern England. I have been privileged to inspect the material collected by Tomlinson, which is now held in the British Railways Board Archives at York, and often, when checking dates and references in the wonderful collection of Stockton \u0026amp; Darlington and NER Minute Books, I have come across pencilled notes of his on doubtful or obscure items.' \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work contains 928 pages and is comprehensively illustrated throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback with dust jacket, 820 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good, some fading to DJ\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David \u0026 Charles","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (289)","offer_id":41456234856557,"sku":"9780999003923","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/products\/9780999003923.jpg?v=1653305543","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/tomlinsons-north-eastern-railway-9780999003923","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
