Synopsis

Without the heavy industry that provided the impetus for new lines elsewhere in the country, railways came late to East Anglia, the Eastern Counties Railway finally reaching into Norfolk and Suffolk in the early 1840s. Norwich and Ipswich and the ports of Felixstowe and Great Yarmouth are the focal points of the network but most of the branch lines had been closed by the 1960s.

About this title

Synopsis:

Each volume in this new series will include 40 maps updated and revised from Colonel Cobb's originals. The maps show the railway network in terms of those lines still open, those open for freight traffic only, lines which have been preserved and those closed completely. Alongisde the railway lines, the book also includes an outline of the road network in simplified form to allow the inter-relationship between railways and roads to be clearly identified. In addition to mapping, each volume will also include a detailed historical sketch outlining the development of the area's railway network, a representative selection of photographs as well as a detailed index and a gazetteer of stations with opening and, where appropriate closure dates. As such, each volume in the series becomes a detailed reference book on the area featured.
