description: Railway Nostalgia Around WarwickshireIt is a quirk of the human brain to expect places, people and things to remain the same as when last seen, even though the interval may be measured in decades. Then, one day, reality strikes - and nostalgia takes over. It is hard to accept that the excitement of seeing working steam locomotives in daily action has not been there for the taking for almost 30 years. And as the years continue to pass, so the value progressively increases of the photograph taken during those glorious days of steam-powered locomotives. The compilation of photographs in Railway Nostalgia Around Warwickshire largely spans the period during the 1950s and 1960s, but there are also some unique photographs taken in the early 1900s. Overall, they chronicle the railway scene in the county up to the end of steam, including some of the early diesels, and they represent a striking and memory-jolting record of a past era. 302 photographs.
