Synopsis

Somewhere Along the Line – the story of the Banbury and Cheltenham railway and the people associated with it 1887-1987 by Barbara Brown.
This centenary book aims to record what life was like for local residents in the Cotswolds prior to the railway, and how its coming changed their lives. Barbara Brown describes the construction of the line, station by station, using archive material, and the role of the railway during war years.
The book also discovers what remains of the line 25 years after its final closure. The book is illustrated.
