This website is devoted to historic railway maps and documents, mainly from the Victoria era. 

 

The archive material offered here is a fascinating record of how some of Britain’s railways were planned, built and modified. Interwoven with the civil engineering information is a social history and story. This is now available for purchase and enjoyment at home.

 

Depending upon the nature of the material the document may be purchased in one or both of the following formats:

 * As a quality reproduction print. This is ideal for framing and an art work in itself.

 * In digital form on CD or via e-mail. This permits the details to be closely scrutinized at

    leisure;  perhaps for historical research.

 

The current features include:

-   Plans for the Manchester and Southampton Railway of 1846.

-   Some of the build records of the London and Birmingham Railway, 1836/7.

-   The Great Western Railway 1879.

-    Altnabreac Station: its conversion from the Highland Railway to the LMS.
