Bradley’s Railway Guide
– Exchange Marquee
Lean back against the headrest and journey through two centuries of British railway history with expert Simon Bradley. On rail’s 200th anniversary, he delves into its beginnings in 1825 with the Stockton & Darlington company, who opened the world’s first public steam railway. Revealing how lives and landscapes were transformed by this new method of transport, he tells entertaining stories on everything from dining saloons to the Rail Alphabet.
Bradley is editor of the World Famous Buildings of England series, founded by Nikolaus Pevsner, to which he has contributed a number of notable revised volumes.
