Bradshaw's Handbook

More about the book

Bradshaw's descriptive railway handbook of Great Britain and Ireland. Bradshaw's original tourist guide to rail travel and the star of the television series Great British Railway Journeys. Produced in 1861 at the time that the railways became essential for tourism as well as infrastructure, this addition to the Collins railways collection provides a chance to explore what is now common, through the eyes of a nation for whom rail travel was still a novelty of the age. This enlarged facsimile provides a fascinating view of railway travel in the nineteenth century.
