Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The full history of this unique and fascinating tramway in Preston. Very popular with railway enthusiasts, Prestonians and all those interested in industrial history and archaeology. The old tram road is one of the best-known relics of the industrial revolution in Preston. Crossing the River Ribble had been too great an undertaking for the canal engineers, so for half a century this early plate railway was used to connect the Lancaster Canal's terminus at Preston Basin with its southern section at Walton Summit. The tram road's most famous feature, the Old Tram Bridge across the Ribble in Avenham Park, Preston, still survives in a recognisable form and parts of the road itself can still be walked today. Local author and rail enthusiast Steve Barritt has researched the full history of this unique and fascinating tramway. Beautifully illustrated with many contemporary and modern photographs, maps and diagrams, this bookwill appeal to everyone with an interest in Preston, industrial history and archaeology.
