Western Ways
The name R C ‘Dick’ Riley will be familiar to several generations of railway enthusiasts. Starting in 1937, Dick Riley captured over 18,000 black and while UK railway images. Even though it has been over 40 years since an album devoted to his work was published, only a handful have ever been seen before. This new book aims to address that omission. “Western Ways” is the first book in a series dedicated to Riley’s railway passion. Dick loved all things railway: locomotives, trains of all sorts, infrastructure and railway people, and that is what you will find inside the book. “Western Ways” showcases some of R C Riley’s best photography with a fantastic selection of images captured during the late Great Western Railway and British Rail periods.
The Education of Richard Riley
Prior to 1983, South Carolinas public education system was ranked 49th out of the fifty states in terms of standardized testing, school funding, parental involvement and other measured criteria.

Southern Medley
‘Southern Medley’ is the latest book in the R C Riley series and this time features the Southern Region. Compiled by Southern expert Mike King, the 112 pages illustrate 141 black and white images most of which are seen in print for the very first time. Mike has taken several topics dividing the chosen views into different ‘themes’ starting with the obvious locomotives and moving on to trains, electric units of course, stations, signal boxes and his famed topic of rolling stock all of which he describes in detail using his expert knowledge. The photographs seen are made as large as possible so no detail is omitted whilst the printing on high quality art paper does true justice to a master of photography. Geographic coverage is from Kent through to Devon including London Termini, main lines, cross country, branches and even goods yard. In all a book that needs to be on the shelves of every Southern enthusiast and we suspect one that will find a place with others as well.
