FROM THE CAMEL TO THE EXE

Padstow to Exeter in the days of steam

That vast swath of glorious countryside lying between the Rivers Camel and Exe contained the very photogenic route of the North Cornwall line. Terry Gough, Gerald Daniels, Dick Riley and many others whose photographic collections have passed into the safe keeping of the Transport Treasury fortunately recorded scenes from Padstow to Exeter on film. From Bulleid pacifics and the graceful Greyhounds to the humblest tank locomotive, and not ignoring the architecture of its wayside stations, their cameras captured images from the dying days of steam on this section of the sorely missed Withered Arm.
112 pages with 150+ black & white photographs printed on high quality glossy art paper SOFTBACK

Don't forget when you order from Strathwood we give you a 100% money back no quibble guarantee on your purchase.

Southern Gem

Very evocative look at part of the Withered Arm from 6 decades ago, Mr Grayer has selected some excellent pictures. I chose this as I own his look at the S&D, the Last Rites from 2006, another gem.

Great service

The book arrived very swiftly and was well packaged. I have had books damaged in the post but this was very secure in a cardboard outer case and a cardboard inner too. Very pleased all round

the Withered arm - Transport Treasury images

a lovely collection of carefully selected and captioned images of the Southern's former network west of Exeter. Recommended.

An Interesting reflection

This book provides and interesting and somewhat nostalgic reflection of the railways in the South West before Dr Beeching swung his axe. I travel around North Cornwall and Devon quite often and it was interesting reading in this book about the branch lines and Stations I had no idea were once there.

Photographic Memories of the Withered Arm

As I am currently modelling Wadebridge in N gauge this excellent book is another one that adds to my armoury to help me create the unique nature of this far flung out post of the rail network.
