The county of Lancashire was well served with railway lines connecting the big cities, heavy industry and the rural towns. As the home of many of BR's last operational steam locomotives, it attracted a lot of attention from enthusiasts as the steam era drew to a close. But this book, in full colour, covers much more than just the final fling of steam and has superb pictures taken from the late 1950s to 1968 throughout the county. These are accompanied by informative captions from the author, who hails from Manchester.

A number of outstanding photographers have contributed to the book and many pictures are published for the first time, including some rarely seen locations and stations.
