BR Steam in Dean

The combination of pannier tanks and stunning scenery, together with Ben Ashworth's masterful eye for photographic composition - which often involved the climbing of a nearby tree - make this book a superb record of the last days of steam in the Forest of Dean. The quality of Ben's photography, plus his often well thought out vantage points, many from well beyond the boundary fence, mean that a large number of the images within these pages are totally unique. Brilliantly evocative, with captions and an introduction by an authority on the railways of the Forest of Dean. First published in 1999, reprinted in 2001 but out of print since 2010, this has become a much sought after title on the second-hand market, so this is a timely reissue.
