The Meon Valley Railway Part 1: Building the Line by Kevin Robertson

Noodle Books  2011   £14.95

This book features a full set of construction photographs of the railway. Seen from the perspective of the surveyor, navvy: his family, and the local populace, it is a record of the impact the building of a new railway had on an otherwise untouched landscape, covering the years from 1899 through to 1903.
