Download or read book An Historical Geography of Railways in Great Britain and Ireland written by David Turnock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a great deal has been published on the economic, social and engineering history of nineteenth-century railways, the work of historical geographers has been much less conspicuous. This overview by David Turnock goes a long way towards restoring the balance. It details every important aspect of the railway’s influence on spatial distribution of economic and social change, providing a full account of the nineteenth-century geography of the British Isles seen in the context of the railway. The book reviews and explains the shape of the developing railway network, beginning with the pre-steam railways and connections between existing road and water communications and the new rail lines. The author also discusses the impact of the railways on the patterns of industrial, urban and rural change throughout the century. Throughout, the historical geography of Ireland is treated in equal detail to that of Great Britain.

Download or read book The Development of the Railway System in Northumberland and Durham written by James Richard Fletcher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of the Railway System in Northumberland and Durham: 7th November, 1901 In 1767 the plate-rail was introduced. It consisted of a short cast-iron plate with a vertical flange projecting upwards to retain the wheels in position, the wheels being without flanges these were fastened direct on to the sleepers An improvement was afterwards made by the addition of a curved flange on the underside to give additional strength. The use of the word platelayer, to denominate a surface man, has survived the plates he used to lay a hundred years ago. The great objection to these tram-plates was the friction of the wheels against the flange, and their liability to become choked with dirt. Iron tramways were in use in South Wales for many years before they were adopted on the Tyne. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Northumberland written by Nikolaus Pevsner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1992-03-11 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The county's remarkable and richly varied military architecutre, from Hadrian's Wall to Warkworth, contrasts with monastic ruins buried deep in the valleys of the Coquet and the Aln or standing proudly by the sea at Holy Island and Tynemouth. Newcastle upon Tyne has the most elegant nineteenth-century city centre in England. Elsewhere the distinctive smaller towns include Alnwick, dominated by its castle, Hexham with its priory, brick-built Morpeth, and Berwick-upon-Tweed, ringed with exceptional sixteenth-century fortifications. Great country houses range from Vanbrugh's theatrical Seaton Delaval to Sir Charles Monck's austere Belsay and Norman Shaw's romantic Cragside. Monuments of a great industrial past, as well as a wealth of smaller buildings, such as bastle houses (peelhouses or stronghouses unique to the Border country), are all vividly described in this revised guide to Northumberland's architectural pleasures.
