Synopsis
Steam South and West by Michael Messenger. In the 1960s steam was rapidly disappearing from British Railways and, living and working in the west country, Michael Messenger was able to capture with his camera the vanishing scene. Not only was the steam locomotive to become part of history but so were many of the lines they travelled on.
This book is a pictorial record of those times, illustrated with a personal selection of the author’s black and white photographs, many published for the first time, and ranging from Cornwall and Devon to the Isle of Wight.
