{"product_id":"warrington-railways-9780752407500","title":"Warrington Railways","description":"\u003cp\u003eWarrington was the highest crossing point on the River Mersey and was a natural place for industry to develop. When improvements in transport were needed to further this growth in the early nineteenth century it was the arrival of the railways that provided the speed and flexibility that rapidly made the canal waterways obsolete. The construction of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in the 1830s began it all and others rapidly followed. Lines were constructed first North and South and later West and East. Collieries, such as those in the Haydock area, were soon linked to the system bringing the fuel for the factories. By the mid-nineteenth century a railway system of enormous complexity had -developed in this industrial corner of Britain that is hard to imagine today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book illustrates the parts of this system which relate particularly to the Warrington area. Using over 200 excellent old photographs of trains, stations, signalling and other railway details the author shows how diverse and comprehensive it was. It will appeal to all railway enthusiasts of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftback, 16x23cm, 128 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (289)","offer_id":57503322505599,"sku":"9780752407500","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/files\/9780752407500.jpg?v=1778582426","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/warrington-railways-9780752407500","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
