It's easy to take for granted the awesome endeavours of 19th Century railway pioneers which thread us through, round or over the nation's natural barriers. It was an age of speculative adventure, built on innovation, will power and elbow grease.
But many magnificent creations were abandoned during the industrial vandalism of the Fifties and Sixties. Forgotten Relics of an Enterprising Age celebrates some of them.
Editor's notes
During June, Philip Lindhurst kindly sent us his vast library of photographs, a great many of which capture parts of our former network. For the next few months, each of our updates will include a gallery of Philip's pictures, starting off with Braughing Station in Hertfordshire.
