Book excerpt: A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. 'Francis Pryor brings the magic of the Fens to life in a deeply personal and utterly enthralling way' TONY ROBINSON. 'Pryor feels the land rather than simply knowing it' GUARDIAN. Inland from the Wash, on England's eastern cost, crisscrossed by substantial rivers and punctuated by soaring church spires, are the low-lying, marshy and mysterious Fens. Formed by marine and freshwater flooding, and historically wealthy owing to the fertility of their soils, the Fens of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire are one of the most distinctive, neglected and extraordinary regions of England. Francis Pryor has the most intimate of connections with this landscape. For some forty years he has dug its soils as a working archaeologist – making ground-breaking discoveries about the nature of prehistoric settlement in the area – and raising sheep in the flower-growing country between Spalding and Wisbech. In The Fens, he counterpoints the history of the Fenland landscape and its transformation – from Bronze age field systems to Iron Age hillforts; from the rise of prosperous towns such as King's Lynn, Ely and Cambridge to the ambitious drainage projects that created the Old and New Bedford Rivers – with the story of his own discovery of it as an archaeologist. Affectionate, richly informative and deftly executed, The Fens weaves together strands of archaeology, history and personal experience into a satisfying narrative portrait of a complex and threatened landscape.

Download or read book Railway Towns written by David Brandon and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2024-05-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The railways changed the world. They initiated a revolution in communications which continues to this day, ever more profoundly influencing our lives. They had an enormous economic and social impact in Britain, not least with its demography. Before 1914 places on the railway system felt they were connected to the wider world. Those left off the system often feared for their future. It was never actually as simple as that. Some places well served by railways prospered, other did not. Some with minimal or no railway connections managed to sustain themselves successfully. Others became complex railway hubs, perhaps with railway-based engineering works, extensive shunting yards and warehouses and a large requirement for labour. Some companies built large numbers of dwellings for their workers and their families. Sometimes they even built churches and parks, for example. Places of this character have often been described as 'railway towns' but what is actually meant by this term? In a pioneering attempt in book form to move towards an understanding of what constitutes a railway town, the author considers a wide range of cities, towns, villages and other settlements and asks to what extent they owed their nineteenth and early twentieth century development to the railways. This book should appeal to students of railway history, British topography and the economic, social and cultural impact of railways.

Book Synopsis The Minor Railways of East Anglia by : Rob Shorland-Ball
Download or read book The Minor Railways of East Anglia written by Rob Shorland-Ball and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the minor railways in eastern England that were once busy transport links and made vital contributions to the social and business heritage. Rob Shorland-Ball is a former teacher and a born storyteller and so is well aware of the strong local loyalties in East Anglia. Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex are considered to be very different separate and independent areas by their inhabitants. When the author worked in Suffolk he explained that he came from Cambridge which he believed was the front door of East Anglia. An elderly Suffolk man to whom he was speaking paused for a while and then said, with unarguable finality, “Here in Suffolk if Cambridge exists at all, it is a back door and rarely used.” By the 1950s and 60s, when the author explored the minor railways illustrated in this book, they were rarely used, so needed to be recorded and their stories told before they were forgotten entirely. To bring this book up to date, the final section is called Destiny because some of the track beds have survived and flourished with new usage as restored heritage railways, footpaths and cycleways and one route as a busy busway. “A nostalgic look back at long forgotten minor railways in East Anglia . . . Highly recommended.” —Branch Line & Light Railway Publications Flyer “A brief history of each of the lines together with maps and period photographs that make this an interesting read for those unfamiliar with the minor railways of East Anglia.” —Great Eastern Railway Society Newsletter
