A HISTORY OF RUNPAST PUBLISHING
The first Runpast
titles were produced in 1988 and well over sixty books have been published
to date.
|
An early
acclaimed series was The Ironstone Quarries of the Midlands - History,
Operation and Railways, which ran to nine
parts, becoming the definitive
works on this now-defunct industry.
Four titles were also
published on the coalfield railways around Bolton, Manchester and
Wigan.
A number of these volumes are
now out of print.
