| The history of this little-known GWR line has never been the subject of a full monograph before, and it is therefore the local history of a particularly attractive part of rural Warwickshire. The book is a collaborative venture between local railway enthusiast Roger Carpenter, who has spent many years assembling a large photographic archive of this, his favourite branch line, and Stanley C. Jenkins, a museum curator and social/transport historian. Contents:
- Introduction
- Origins of the Alcester Branch
- Construction and Opening of the Branch
- The Line in Operation 1883-1939
- War Years
- The Line Described
- The Post War Years
Continent: Europe
