S W A Newton and the Great Central Railway.
Boyd-Hope & Sargent.
Large landscape, 215 pages, album with 8 page introduction, hard back. **This book re-treads the ground classically covered by L T C Rolt in The Making Of A Railway, where Newton's pictures of the construction of the Great Central London Extension were first published. Many of the photographs appear in both books and Rolt's work appears in the list of sources consulted, it is regrettable that the authors were unable to recall the correct spelling of his name. However, during his GC travels, Newton also photographed scenes of day to day life in the surrounding towns and countryside and it is for these many extra pictures, full of interesting detail, that one might prefer this book to Rolt's.
