Steam in British Industry

Continuing on from his volumes focusing on the British Rail main line, Charlie Verrall delves into his archives again to showcase some of his images documenting steam workings in British industry in the 1950s and 1960s.

With visits to a number of different industrial railways, including those attached to steelworks, collieries and ironstone mines, the author is able to tell the story of steam at work during this fascinating period where it continued to thrive despite coming under threat on the main line.
