Synopsis:

William Nash (1909-1952) was a gifted individual born at St. Bees in Cumbria. Between 1926 and 1952, he worked on the railway. When only 14 years old, he started taking railway pictures. Nash had, for one so young, a good eye for composition and a keen awareness of what would be a worthwhile subject. Furness Baltic tanks, the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway and the LMS's West Coast main line are amongst the many subjects that fill his albums. His youngest daughter Kate Robinson and transport historian Robert Forsythe have shared the task of presenting his material. This volume focuses on his material covering the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, standard gauge steam in Cumbria, along with his images of the railway-owned Lakeland steamers and a selection of Lake District landscapes. All the material was taken between 1923 and 1935 or thereabouts. A number of railway postcards from Nash's own boyhood collection are included, along with biographical detail. This title has an A5 page size in landscape format, printed on high quality ivory silk paper, and includes just over 100 photographs. It is perfect bound with a square-backed spine and laminated colour cover (see also "Taken by Trains: The Life and Photographs of William Nash 1909-1952" page 6).
