At the turn of the 20th century the rail network extended to over 23,000 miles, very nearly the circumference of the world - the greatest length it was ever to achieve. Some urban routes had closed and later, hundreds of rural lines and stations succumbed to the Beeching axe. This title shows the network in its heyday before the decline commenced.
Bradshaw’s Railway Map 1907 from the Old Book House provides a reproduction of the map originally published to accompany the famous Bradshaw's Railway Manual 1907. The map shows the rail network of the British Isles at around the peak of its growth at about 23,000 miles in length. Many sea connections to Continental ports and to Ireland are also marked.
Ireland is presented on a separate inset at a reduced scale to Great Britain. More insets show in greater detail rail networks around London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dublin. The map is presented in a high quality card cover which includes historical notes providing more background.
