Book features closed rail lines
4:57pm Thursday 2nd February 2012 in Entertainments
HOW many people know that there used to be a railway line from Salisbury to Bournemouth?
Jeffery Grayer has been researching all the closed railway lines of Wiltshire, following his work on volumes charting the closed lines of Hampshire and Sussex.
The result is the book Impermanent Ways: The Closed Lines of Britain Volume 3 – Wiltshire, a photographic documentation of all the closed lines as well as historical facts and information about the various junctions.
Grayer will be signing copies of his book at Cross Keys Bookshop in Salisbury at 11am on Saturday, February 4.
The bookshop is in Cross Keys Chequer, off Winchester Street.
n Also recently published is The Beeching Legacy by Philip Horton, a book detailing the lines listed for closure in Wessex by the Beeching Report of 1963, the second volume of a series. This book is also available from Cross Keys Bookshop.
