Pre-orders have opened on a new pictorial celebration of the Stockton & Darlington Railway in its Bicentenary year.
This lavishly illustrated hardback book, with photographs by Darlington based photographer Peter Giroux, will feature stunning imagery of the remaining features of the Stockton & Darlington Railway providing a unique record of the S&DR in its bicentenary year. With text by author and archaeologist Caroline Hardie who has spent over a decade researching the railway and cataloguing the surviving historical landscape, this beautifully presented book will surely be a treasured work for years to come. If funds permit there will also be poetic contributions from regional poets, soundscapes accessed by QR codes, historic imagery and additional photographic contributions from various Friends of the S&DR to help further bring the book to life.
This limited-edition book will be funded through pre-orders and subscriptions. The first 300 subscriber copies will be individually numbered and signed by the authors and the list of subscribers printed within all copies of the book, or alternatively subscribers can have the book dedicated in memory of a friend or family member with their name recorded on a special “in memoriam” page, providing a lasting tribute to their love of the Stockton & Darlington Railway and its wonderful location.
The book is available to pre-order here for £35 plus £4.10 postage.
