British Industrial Steam In The 1960s.
£30.00
The collected industrial colour photography of Terence Dorrity. Dorrity. Very large, 224 page colour album, glazed boards. ** The author developed an interest in industrial steam as a boy growing up in the west midlands and it is the coal, ironstone and steel industries there that form the backbone of this work. When older he photographed industries further afield in England, Wales and Scotland and so has produced a powerful record of steam at work from Dorset to Morayshire. Some terrific images here, including some fairly unusual engines.
