Profusely illustrated with photographs and maps, discover the delights of the many industrial railway systems operating in the lime and cement works of Warwickshire in this book. These railways have held a life-long fascination for the author; indeed his earliest research into these lines commenced in the late 1950s.The railway systems are described in a generally north-easterly direction, from Stratford-upon-Avon to Rugby, a distance of about 25 miles. The Appendices also cover Ardley Quarries, Totternhoe Lime Works & Quarries and Kensworth Quarries, all in neighbouring counties, in detail as well as Napton Brickworks.
