A guide to the scenic railways of Norfolk and the adjoining counties.
Pearson.
Very large, landscape, 64 pages, illustrated with maps and photographs, colour throughout, handsomely produced, soft back. **So many of our books are historical it is refreshing to have one bang up to date - this is an enthusiastic rallying call to explore the railways of northern East Anglia. The system is divided into manageable sections each with a map, a description of the route, (this does include some history, the author is a traditionalist) and a gazetteer of the places along the way, with lists of accommodation, pubs, restaurants, shops, walks, boatyards, and bus, taxi and cycle hire details for onward travel. All this for just £4.99? There are no ads, but the commercial sponsors get a couple of pages at the end. Sadly the adjoining counties don't include Lincolnshire - it would be good to see more of this sort of guide.

Many of the photographs appear in both books and Rolt's work appears in the list of sources consulted, it is regrettable that the authors were unable to recall the correct spelling of his name. However, during his GC travels, Newton also photographed scenes of day to day life in the surrounding towns and countryside and it is for these many extra pictures, full of interesting detail, that one might prefer this book to Rolt's.
