Summary

Paul Atterbury's Railway Collection brings the golden age of railways back to life through a nostalgic collection of Paul's private photographs, postcards and ephemera, all accompanied with informative and entertaining captions. In this entertaining collection Atterbury takes a personal perspective, charting his favourite journeys, stations and trains.
