Blog- Tewkesbury MPD - S7 - Bibliography

[RSS Fetcher]

Over the years I've slowly collected bits of information about the Tewkesbury Quay Branch. Various articles and photo's from several sources. As part of the project I thought a bibliography might be of interest for the scholars amongst us. So with out further adieu and in no particular order:

• LMS Engine Sheds - Volume 2 The Midland Railway,
  Chris Hawkins and George Reeve,
  Wild Swan Publications,
  ISBN: 0 906867 05 03
  Three pages of photos and plans to the usual WSP quality that sparked off this project.
• British Railway Journal - Issue 40, Winter 92,
  Roger Carpenter,
  Wild Swan Publications,
  ISSN 0265-4105
  An essential 8 page article with superb photo's, maps and stock details.
• British Railway Journal - Issue 42, Summer 92, (yes this is listed as 1992 - one can only assume that WSP published the Winter issue in January-February!)
  Wild Swan Publications,
  ISSN 0265-4105
  Just a couple of letters, one on the original Birmingham and Gloucester branch at Tewkesbury and one on the fate of the wagons shown in issue 40.
• Bromsgrove to Gloucester including Ashchurch to Great Malvern - Midland Mainlines
  Vic Mitchell and Keith Smith
  Middleton Press - 2006

  6 pages on Tewkesbury including a 1902 map of the station and MPD, one nice photo of the MPD from 1949 of 3F 43506 which to my recollection doesn't appear in the other publications
• Tewkesbury Historical Society Bulletin No.12
  John Dixon
  Tewkesbury Historical Society
  A fascinating article describing the original Birmingham and Gloucester Branch to Tewkesbury with a photo of an early B&G loco in the street approaching an ornate Gothic arch entrance to the station
• The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway
  P.J. Long and The Reverend W.V. Awdry
  Alan Sutton 1987

  8 pages about the building of the line, no photo's of the MPD but an interesting account, none the less.
• Midland Record, Issue 20
  Wild Swan Publications

  No article but a cracking photo of a Midland 0-4-4T P-class No. 58071 outside the shed in 1955 spread over 2 pages (2-3)
