Sheffield Flats
Before the Second World War Sheffield Council planned a major slum clearance and redevelopment programme in the Park Hill area. But this was largely halted due to the War. Afterwards, a radical scheme, under the leadership of the Council's chief architect John Lewis Womersley, was introduced - the Park Hill redevelopment. It was viewed as revolutionary at the time, featuring a deck access scheme. Construction began in 1957 and Park Hill (Part One) was officially opened by Hugh Gaitskell, in 16 June 1961. Park Hill Part 2, becoming known as Hyde Park, and built adjacent, was opened in 1965 by the Queen Mother. Although the two areas were initially popular and successful, over time Hyde Park w...
LNER Workshops
When the London & North Eastern Railway was formed in 1923, it inherited workshops large and small from its constituent companies. The roles of many of these changed in the years that followed the creation of the LNER. For example, new locomotive construction ceased at Cowlairs and Stratford and was much reduced at Gorton with Doncaster and Darlington building most of the new LNER designs introduced by Sir Nigel Gresley and his successors. This important new study begins with an examination of the history of the workshops of the LNER's constituent companies. It then moves on to provide in-depth analysis of their individual and collective roles in the LNER era especially with regard to the construction and maintenance of locomotives and rolling stock and how the company's fortunes affected their activities. Particular high points in locomotive and carriage construction are explored as is the role which many of the works undertook during the Second World War in the production of munitions. Illustrated throughout with maps, drawings and photographs, the book concludes with a brief survey of how the various works fared under the control of British Railways after 1948.
Last Days of Steam Around Nottingham and Derby
Nottingham railwayman and photographer Bill Reed is now eighty and is celebrating the occasion by delving into his vast photographic archive and presenting us with unique images of the last days of steam around Nottingham and Derby. Dating from the late 1940s, 1950s and 1960s these images are amongst the first he took and they are from once well known vantage points of scenes now mostly obliterated by the march of time. Some of Bill's favorite local locations include ones at New Basford, Bagthorpe Junction, Bulwell Common, Bulwell Hall, the 'Rat Hole,' Toton, Watnall and Derby. Pictures carefully captured at Bulwell Common are from the bottom of his dad's allotment located at the Hucknall Ro...
