About this product

Product Information

Photographs portraying the nostalgic, gritty years of the 1970s and early 1980s on Britain's railways. Andy Sparks spent his youth photographing the scene on the railways of Britain in the 1970s and early 1980s. Travelling with his camera whenever and wherever he could from 1972 onwards, he amassed a portfolio of over 1,000 images. This was an era of change, and of decay and dereliction gradually giving way to the onset of new order and organisation. Andy Sparks' evocative and nostalgic photographs document the people, infrastructure, activities, trains and locomotives of this time, presenting a photo album that recreates the atmosphere of this gritty and distinct period in time. AUTHOR: Andy Sparks, a chartered surveyor, spent his youth avidly photographing the railway scene. The costs of developing his negatives eventually forced him to stop his hobby, but he later discovered how popular his pictures were and began writing articles and books to showcase his images. He lives in Manchester. This is his fourth book for The History Press. 140 illustrations
