pike s n (48 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Travel back in time on a journey across Britains main-line railways on the eve of nationalisation. The views from the carriage windows are conveyed through finely detailed, hand-drawn maps, each a rich reminder of the linesides bursting with activity in an era of technical progress, glamour and prestige. Speed along the LNERs racing track from Kings Cross to Newcastle upon Tyne and Edinburgh; from next-door St Pancras through the Peak District to Manchester; from Waterloo to Plymouth (with some pleasant seaside diversions on the way); from Euston through the industrial heartlands of the West Midlands and the north-west to the seaport of Liverpool; and from Paddington along Brunels bowling green railway to Bristol, Exeter and Penzance. Mile by Mile faithfully reproduces the three original route maps drafted in 1947 by S.N. Pike, and adds a new one for the Great Western Railway to complete its coverage of the so-called Big Four railway firms formed in the aftermath of the First World War. New introductions describe how the Big Four came about, the passengers and goods they conveyed, the key personalities that shaped them engineers, managers, even publicists and the trains and locomotives that gave each its unique character. Climb aboard, sit back and take a ride to a special period in the history of Britains railways. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Back in 1947 someone called S.N. Pike we know nothing more about him published three little pamphlets, each mapping in forensic detail one of Britain s main line rail routes. Now Aurum reissues all three in one handsome volume adding a fourth in the same style to complete the set. Pike produced booklets on the LNER (the East Coast main line), the LMS (West Coast main line) and the Southern Railway network the Brighton line and all its ramifications) but for some reason he never got around to doing one on the Great Western (the route from Paddington to Devon and Cornwall). What subsequently became of S.N. Pike we don t know. But now Aurum completes the set, to make one nostalgic guide to Britain s railways as they were just after the War. The books are full of period interest the East Coast line, for example, still goes past Alexandra Park racecourse, sees a tangle of colliery sidings all the way up through Yorkshire, and passes 20 places where GPO mail bag catching nets are erected close to the rails . When today s high speed trains swish to Paris so fast that the landscape beyond is a blur, this delightful book reminds you what once could be seen on a long railway journey. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
