matty-a7x Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Afternoon all, Finally after many months of work I'm pleased to announce that my latest book " Narrow Gauge Railways In Cumbria" is now available to buy...just in time for Christmas hint hint! The book starts of by taking a look at the South Tynedale Railway before moving onto Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum and then the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. From there the book takes a look at some of the industrial sites within the lakes, with sections on Honister Slate Mine, the mines around Coniston and a number of other mining and quarrying sites. The book can be purchased here, and is priced at £24.99. A preview of some of the pages can be found by clicking on the cover of the book. Ebook and PDF versions are also available from the above link. A hardcover version is also available from here. And for those who are on Facebook I will be running a competition to win a copy of the book. All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning is, make sure you've liked my photography page and liked and shared this post. I will then chose a winner at random towards the end of the month. One final note, I do not have any control over the post and packing prices. These are set by Blurb and not myself.
