Follows the usual Railway Memories style illustrating the railways of Sherwood and the Dukeries, mainly as they were in the days of steam and before the decline of the coal industry. Features main routes and colliery branch lines.
Through 215 nostalgic black and white photographs plus track plans and operating data, this latest addition to the Railway Memories series takes us back to the time when Sherwood Forest was a bustling hive of coal mining and railway activity, when such places as Mansfield, Worksop, Retford, Shirebrook and Tuxford were busy railway hubs, when Retford was graced by the most famous steam-hauled expresses, when colliery branch lines meandered into the depths of the forest in search of modern 20th century collieries, and when steam was king. Some more recent scenes which have also passed into history are included.
