Publisher's Synopsis
Co. Durham's Days of Steam author Paul Chrystal isn't a railway buff; he's more of a historian for the counties of Yorkshire and Durham. Hence this is not your regular railway book by a railway enthusiast, but don't despair as it does include lots of interesting railway photographs such as track being lifted in Hetton le Hole in 1960, the coal sheds in Hartlepool, the sidings at Consett Iron Works, and coal picking on railway embankments during the 1920 miners' strike.
