AEC Lorries
This is the first of a series of books relating to lorry use in the last fifty years, showing the diverse use of the vehicles and their configurations for many different types of work. New transport legislation in the 1960s brought many changes, including weight and licencing rules, which saw lorries developing in a new direction. Lorries became larger and more powerful, carrying more weight, and ran much further afield, into European countries and the Middle East
Britain’s Declining Secondary Railways Through the 1960s : The Blake Paterson Collection
This is an evocative selection of high quality colour views, each of which recaptures the lost age of Britain’s branch lines and secondary railways, of which so many were axed following implementation of the ‘Beeching Report’ during the 1960s. Most importantly, the previously unpublished views in this book are the work of one man, Blake Paterson, a professional railwayman, who was also an outstanding photographer who some forty-five years ago was determined to record as much of the passing railway scene as possible. He set himself demanding schedules and would often travel vast distances, sometimes using overnight trains, to reach the more remote comers of the rail network
