Description
This hardback book is in excellent condition – it has minimal shelf wear so is almost as new inside and out. The ‘Great North’ was the railway of Scotland’s north-east until 1923. Set up in 1845 to join Aberdeen and Inverness, it did not open its first stretch of line until 1854. Reformed in the 1870s, it operated one of the most efficient and innovative regional railway systems in Britain. This comprehensive account explores the company’s contribution to the development of the region and of the city of Aberdeen.
