RMweb Gold tractionman Posted October 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2021 Just spotted in the latest Steam Days magazine, an advertisement for Lightmoor Press and a new 224 page book, 'British Industrial Steam in the 1960s', subtitled 'The collected industrial photography of Terence Dorrity'. Due early December according to the advert, and £25, sounds good to me. Perfect Christmas present I reckon. Cheers, Keith 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted October 31, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2021 Sounds very good, but there's nothing on the Lightmoor website that I can see at the moment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the advert in this month's Steam Days magazine, the only mention I can see of the book on the Lightmoor website is in the summer catalogue https://lightmoor.co.uk/BDLpdf_files/LightmoorBookListSummer2021web.pdf All the best, Keith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted January 11, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2022 My copy has just arrived, what can I say... it's a fantastic collection of photographs, reproduced on high quality paper, covering England, Scotland and Wales in 16 chapters, arranged geographically. Lots on coalfields and NCB systems, as well as other industries represented including ironstone, gas works, slate quarries etc--mainly standard gauge but a lovely 'industrial narrow gauge miscellany' (chapter 9) as well as examples from Wales. Totally brilliant. cheers, Keith 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't resisit a good industrials book! it was Bill Hudson Books I bought my copy from, really well packaged for posting to NI, bubble wrap and proper cardboard envelope, not like those rubbish Amazon 'cartons' that they use and end up damaging the books in transit by being loose inside (grr)--so my copy arrived in proper good order :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Book ordered with James, in the post tomorrow - along with No. 10 in the British Railways First 25 Years series. I bought No. 11 before Christmas as it is based on North Wales and Chester, my old stamping ground. I half expected to see myself in some of the photos! No. 10 is Shrewsbury and Mid Wales I believe so also an area well known to me. When I was 'reading' No. 11 I had my old Ian Allan Combine (1957) with me and I reckon I must have seen at least 75% of the locos illustrated! As you say, James does pack books well. He sent the 2 books in separate packages as the individual price of 2 posted was less than if they had been packed and posted as one package. Where's the logic in that! Although I suppose that the words 'logic' and 'GPO' (or any other official body!) aren't necessarily compatible in the same sentence. Me, cynical? Never.................................... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
