Great Western Infrastructure is a book of amazing images from the period 1922-34 and all from the Wallis collection. The late Edward Wallis was a signal engineer employed by the Southern, but who also traveled and recorded signalling and infrastructure on the GWR as well. (Vol 1 of 'Southern Infrastructure was released in 2013 and has received wide acclaim. A second 'Southern' volume is scheduled for late 2014. Both SR books cover the period 1922-34.) This new book on the GWR contains detail views the like of which are rarely seen. 120 pages (indexed) feature the railway from Paddington to Penzance plus excursions into Wales and also the Birmingham and Gloucester divisions. Paperback, printed on quality art-paper.
