A Handbook and Gazetteer Preserved Steam-Powered Machines by John Hannavy

A Handbook and Gazetteer Preserved Steam-Powered Machines by John Hannavy

Model Number: 9780857100726

£7.99 GBP
Preserved Steam-powered Machines celebrates the steam preservation movement. Preserved steam railways have been part of Britain's heritage landscape now for more than half a century, preserved steamships for more than a century. This book may, in part, be nostalgic, but it is primarily a celebration of the diversity of preserved steam in the second decade of the 21st century, and the skill and perseverance of the volunteers who have ensured that steam will never die. Steam railways, of course, are celebrated, but so are the steamboats and steamships which have escaped the breakers, and many of the industrial steam engines which have survived well beyond their usefulness in Britain's mills, factories and mines. Traction engines, and the annual rallies they are driven to, are also covered.

The book contains a gazetteer of major attractions throughout Britain, giving contact names, addresses and website details. Illustrated throughout in colour, this handy new hardback is the essential guide to where the mighty machines of Britain's industrial greatness can still be seen and enjoyed.
