Kenneth Field Brian Stephenson PENNINE STEAM First Edition
First edition, first print hardback of PENNINE STEAM by Kenneth Field and Brian Stephenson and published by Ian Allan Ltd., in 1977.The book is in very good condition (Clean blue cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine), with only slight wear to the pictorial dust jacket which is not price clipped (minor creasing to the edges mainly around the top of the spine, and slight tanning). Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no inscriptions.
"The Pennine area, on the eastern frontier of Lancashire and the western of Yorkshire is one of the country's most photogenic in railway terms. Here in steam days, LNER and LMS rubbed shoulders. After nationalisation their borders were smudged and ex-LMS and LNER types drove deep into each other's territory, enlivening further the visual variety of what was always an interest-packed scene.
For here steam was usually at full stretch, toiling up and over the backbone of England with coal and minerals to feed the great industries of the North, bearing men and women to work, or rushing them to holidays on the East and West Coast.
Kenneth Field lived in the heart of this throbbing railway activity. A railway historian as well as a brilliant photographer, he trained his camera instinctively on scenes that set the railway vividly in its working and historic environment, as well as freezing moments of fascinating railway action that are now gone for ever.
This collection of his best work, edited and supplemented by Brian Stephenson, is an unsurpassed panorama of Pennine steam at work in the final years."
128 pages. Profusely illustrated with black and white photographs on glossy pages throughout.
